I always think that this speech should be spoken with hidden rage. The anger within is going to burst at any moment.

Very true. Though watching this again it's like he's speaking from behind a wall he's put up as a result of prejudice of insults. And as I watched it was like that suffering was starting to emerge from behind that wall. And the final line has the piercing thrust of anger.

RIP Adrian Schiller. Gone far too soon at just 60 years old, 'a sudden and unexpected death'. He was one of those actors with a name the public didn't recognise (even if they all recognised his face) - but every actor knew who he was and they all admired him. He was an actors actor, and that's probably the best compliment any actor could receive. I was looking forward to another 15 - 20 years of watching him mature into deeper levels of greatness. Bit of a kick in the balls to learn of his passing.

I wonder how many ppl play Shylock without knowing it's loosly based on a real person. St. Anthony of Padova encountered a skeptical Jew named Guillard. It was actually Antonio who said "usurers are like thorns who prick us to bleed." Perhaps Shakespeare gives this line to the Jewish character to remind us of Christ the Jewish Carpenter who shed his blood. Most actors do (or should) make a gesture to prick their hand when saying that line.

Anger doesn't always manifest as loud rage. Shylock has endured abuse for years and years, growing bitter, resentful, hateful. Performing this speech as someone unloading a lifetime of pain to justify the cold, harsh retribution they seek seems perfectly appropriate to me. That being said, to me, this delivery of "I will better the instruction" is absolutely seething with fury.

Hello🐧🐧🐧🐕🐶, 🐦 God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy and Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Jesus sincerely to be God's childJohn 1:12. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on HIS name." That is great news! Will you sincerely receive Holy, Lord Jesus into your life today

I really don’t like this rendition. Shylock was super pissed and filled with a righteous fury when he said those words. This comes off as sort of sad and reluctant. I don’t think it fits the character at all and is, imho, played too dramatically for no reason.

Frankly speaking...........I am not at all impressed. This actor has failed to express the complex Web of feelings and emotions, the deep philosophy and edge sharp rationality.........the anger, the grudge, the sorrow and the agony, an appeal to humanity, the insult and the hatred, the injustice and the discrimination, the deprivation and the alienation..........the prejudice and sound reasoning...................Shylock is a complex character, a villainous as well as a heroic character; a comic as well as a tragic character. There lies Shakespeare's OBJECTIVITY n GREATNESS......He is a TORMENTOR as well as a victim of torment.........

Wow, William Shakespeare is alive and well and has changed his name to Peter Von Berg. Thank you for oficially letting us know this is the wrong way of interpreting this speech. Actors and scholars have been struggling for centuries with how it should be done and how it should not be done. Make a note of it, folks, the author himself has finally given us some insight! Thank you, Peter. Or should I say, Will!! 😉

@@ianmason2964 I respectfully disagree. A Shakespeare monologue, and performance thereof, should and can stand on its own. It is very possible to say - I didn't like his Hamlet, but he really delivered "To be or not to be " well. The opposite is also true - His "blow winds" was poor, but he was much better in other spots and I liked his Lear. Now this actor in Merchant might have been very good in the role, but I didn't care for this particular monologue, that's all I'm saying.

@@pvonberg Absolutely. But respectfully, that is not what you said. You did not say "I didn't care for this particular monologue". You said it was flat out the "absolutely wrong way of doing this speech". Now personally, although the performance itself was perfectly fine, I did not care a great deal for this particular monologue either but I would never be so arrogant to declare it as "Wrong!" You and I, sir, are far from the ultimate authorities on the interpretation of Shakespeare. Just because you didn't care for it, certainly does not mean it is incorrect. The greatest thing about Shakespeare is that - as long as it holds true to the text and the story, and isn't completely off the wall ridiculous - there is no wrong way to interpret this play. This is why professional shows like this sell out every time and are being performed and vigorously discussed over 400 years later. Open your mind a little.
