傳統的理論認為該劇的主題是褒揚安東尼奧Antonio與巴塞尼奧Bassanio之間的友誼，贊美鮑西婭Portia的完美:
美貌，智慧與堅貞，並揭露了Jews--Shylock的貪婪與殘忍
但是經曆了几個世紀對對Jews不會平的待遇,今天許多人將該劇的主題看作chritains的hypocrisy,為追求世俗利益而不擇手段以及對Jews不公正的偏見

vanityfair中文是《名利场》。
《名利场》是英国十九世纪小说家萨克雷的成名作品，也是他生平著作里最经得起时间考验的杰作。
故事取材于很热闹的英国十九世纪中上层社会。
当时国家强盛，工商业发达，由榨压殖民地或剥削劳工而发财的富商大贾正主宰着这个社会，英法两国争权的战争也在这时响起了炮声。
中上层社会各式各等人物，都忙着争权夺位，争名求利，所谓“天下攘攘，皆为利往，天下熙熙，皆为利来”，名利、权势、利禄，原是相连相通的。
故事主角是一个机灵乖巧的漂亮姑娘。
她尝过贫穷的滋味，一心要掌握自己的命运，摆脱困境。
她不择手段，凭谄媚奉承、走小道儿钻后门，飞上高枝。
作为陪衬的人物是她同窗女友、一个富商的女儿。
她懦弱温柔，驯顺地随命运播弄。
从贫贱进入富裕的道路很不平稳！
富家女的运途亦多坎坷，两人此起彼落的遭遇，构成一个引人关怀又动人情感的故事。
穿插的人物形形色色，都神情毕肖。
萨克雷富讥智，善讽刺，《名利场》是逗趣而又启人深思的小说。
