Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the character of Shylock in Shakespeare's play, 'The Merchant of Venice', arguing that misinterpretation of the Jewish moneylender's actions and motivations has led to centuries of antisemitism. The author provides thorough analysis of Shylock's speeches and actions, situating them within the broader context of both the play and the socio-political climate of Shakespeare's time. The book demonstrates that Shylock is a complex and tragic character, motivated by a desire for justice and a sense of grievance against the Christian community that has oppressed him. Through a detailed examination of Shylock's character, the author sheds light on the dangers of prejudice, intolerance, and the importance of understanding different perspectives. The book argues that Shylock's story is still relevant today, offering valuable insights into the nature of hate, revenge, and the human condition.
