Abstract
This article focuses on the mediation strategies present in the Spanish version for young readers of The Merchant of Venice carried out in 2002 by Nemesio Martín, paying particular attention to the way in which the complex ethical issues represented in the play by the characters of Shylock and Portia are addressed. It analyses the incidence of the textual transformations and paratextual additions of the adaptation in the representation of the personal, national, racial and religious identity of the characters, highlighting the extent to which an adaptation can preserve or reduce the critical character of its hypotext. Ultimately, the work aims at providing pedagogues with the necessary tools to discern which adaptations of classical texts are likely to promote a critical and tolerant attitude among adolescents and young people.
