Shylock is now dehumanizing them by taunting them.

However, Shylock is more upset because he lost $4000, yet is daughter is missing.

Despite being written in the late sixteenth century, Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice is a timeless piece and provides great themes to be analyzed for purposes of a book report. The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare's less popular comedies, having been plagued in recent times with complaints of anti-Semitic themes. The summary of this really has to do with the character Shylock, a caricature of a greedy, Jewish money-lender. The two main characters of the story are a Venetian merchant, Antonio, and his Bassanio, who is in love with a wealthy heiress named Portia. Bassanio wants to propose to Portia but needs money to travel and appear worthy of her.
Consider the role and presentation of Shylock in the play. How might an audience respond to him, would the original audience in the 1600's feel the same about this character and if no then why not? The Merchant of Venice is about Shylock, a Jewish money lender trying to survive and make a living in a country which despises him and his kind. Throughout the play there is a strong theme of prejudice. Portia has to deal with prejudice against her gender, the Prince of Morocco has to cope with prejudice against his race but the character that is most discriminated against is Shylock.
Joe sacrificed his honour in his struggle to make his family wealthy and strong as Joe denied his part in the shipment and blamed it all on Steve. Three and a half years later everything is coming back to haunt Joe, including truth behind his son Larry’s disappearance during the war. Director John Cooper revived the intense Arthur Miller classic and made it into an exciting production full of high emotion and great acting. The play All My Sons deals with two plot twits, Chris Keller the son of Joe and Kate has invited his brother Larry’s old fiance to the house so that he can marry her. However, before that is to happen they must convince Kate who still strongly believes Larry is still alive, that he
First of all, “The Merchant of Venice” is not a complete tragedy. There are some elements of comedy in it. There is the intrigue about the chests that Portia's suitors have to solve. Portia and Nerissa dress up as men at Antonio's trial without being recognised by their husbands to be. It should be seen as a tragedy/comedy.
