Final



During these times the Jew were hated for there religion because the Christians think that they should do religion how they do it. Shylock a Rich Jew was treated disgracefully by Antonio a Rich Christian man. Spit on and looked down on just because of religion. Shylock was a revengeful blood thirsty type of man and towards the end he just changed into a worthless man.
At this time period I under stand why Shylock could be a mean person, they treat his people and him self horribly, no respect and hate tread. Judging by how Antonio treats Shylock I can see what I’s like for the other Jew and I can see what it’s like for them at this time. It’s not fair how these people to be treated like this, they are all the same they just do there religion differently.
            In this time period everyone would trust people with borrowing money, but not Shylock with Antonio but who would trust a man who treated him with disgrace? Shylock wanted revenge on Antonio for what he did to him, and since Antonio needed money shylock came up with an idea on how he can achieve his goal on getting revenge “ If you don’t repay me on such a day, at such a place, such sum or sums as are in the contract, let the forfeit be agreed for a full pound of your fair flesh.”  So basically Shylock  wants to kill Antonio. This is why I feel like Shylock is a blood thirsty type of man. Why can’t he just say no to giving Antonio money for revenge instead of killing the man, that’s crazy.
            During the last 2 senses things go down hill for shylock, his daughter runs away and she steals money, then he finds out that he won’t be able to cut off Antonio’s flesh because In the court they decided Shylock can cut off flesh but one drop of blood cannot escape from his body. Obviously that’s impossible to do. So he lost everything. No money, no daughter, and no flesh.
            To sum everything up Shylock If technically the man everyone wants to get away from, a blood thirsty worthless person. Who wouldn’t want to get away from a guy like that. Moral of the story for shylock don’t a person who keeps his mind only on one thing and cares about someone that shouldn’t be important.
