This is the diary of a clerk that thinks a lot of himself. He goes to various activities and expects to be treated as nobility, but is just treated as the average person he is. He has colleagues and family that have some adventures. There is an attempt to do a seance that was identified as a fraud due to answering nothing like what the question was. It feels very episodic with sections capable of being read on their own.

The Merchant of Venice
The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare
Somebody needed money. There was a big trial with a Jew and an attempt to get the proper solution and later ask him to convert to Christianity. I'm sure there was more, but I didn't quite grasp it. Shakespeare is better appreciated in live performance.
