"Goes straight about classes" - Reforms

About = re (as used in letters) ; classes = forms

"Love coordinates dill - how absurd it is!" - Oxymoron

Love = o ; coordinates on a graph = xy ; dill = moron

Retiring to curl the money lender - Shylock

Retiring = shy ; curl = lock

That is awesome, thanks so much for the explanations that really makes it that much clearer for me.

Just don't get Love = o? But the rest is extremely clever, love it!

Love = o
Think of a tennis score e.g. Six-love is 6-0
OK, one is a number and the other is a letter but they look the same !
