bstephens 's review for:
The Merchant of Venice
by William Shakespeare
A clear window into the deeply entrenched anti-semitism of Elizabethan England and medieval Christianity. Shylock is an essentially inhuman character, 'do we not bleed' notwithstanding, clearly contrasted with the wholesome and faultless nature of the Christian characters. The drama is 'resolved' with a wholly disproportionate outcome for Shylock founded on a winking fraud. Awful stuff.
