In "The Merchant of Venice," the conflict is resolved through a clever legal maneuver orchestrated by Portia. She disguises herself as a male lawyer and argues that Shylock is entitled to his pound of flesh but without shedding any blood, as doing so would violate Venetian law. This effectively nullifies Shylock's claim and secures a victory for Antonio and his friends. Additionally, Shylock is punished for attempting to take the life of a Venetian citizen.
