The character of Shylock is meant to be multi dimensional. Some perceive him as a villain, others as villianised. It depends of your person so please don't have a huge argument. It's like one person likes blue another likes red. Jeez. Personally (having studied the play) I think Shylock is isolated and villainised by the Christians, I mean seriously the acts committed against him are horrible. There is more to the play than the scene so I suggest being educated on it before being crude. :)

I personally think that Portia went quite a bit too far in bringing about 'justice' as she calls it. I feel she should have just let him take the 6000 ducats when he said at last he would take them. No point in making him convert to Christianity. It was really the Christians' fault for the way Shylock acted in the first place if you think about it. If they had treated him well, he wouldn't have felt he need to go and attempt to kill Antonio. That's just what I think.

the actor's portrayal of the characters is commendable. On the play, it is my personal opinion that the court should have allowed Shylock his 6000 ducats for many reasons and not have forced him to convert to christianity. firstly, a religion that was the cause of his hate towards Antonio, would seem a fitting revenge but, Antonio had on many occasions berated the old man's religion as well. If not for anything but out of the christian spirit of respect, Shylock should not have been as disrespected as he was. this is my personal opinion thats all

If you seek a modern-day adaptation of this story, tune in to nearly every TV lawyer ad that flashes before you on a daily basis. Charlatans have been making fortunes off of "the law" in the most lawless of ways for hundreds of years. Pay particular attention to their LAST name, by the way. Make your own determination.

I understand Shylock's hatred and anger towards Antonio and I'll be honest, I don't care for Antonio so much, but Shylock went too far. The best way he could've gotten revenge on Antonio was by proving that he was the better man and not become what Antonio believed he was. He never should've demanded Antonio's flesh in the first place. It was never worth it.Portia gave several chances of mercy and Shylock only cared about getting revenge. So it's not surprising that this would happen. As strange as it may sound, I actually understand why Jessica did what she did. Her world with her father had no place for her and she wanted to be happy with the man she loved and he loved her, and if she was going to be condemned no matter how she chose to live her life, she'd do it while being happy. Her father was too full of hatred and it was another reason why she left him, even though she still loved him. Times were different then. Things should be thought about and seen through the characters during that time period and try to use their own personal situations with themselves for it to make sense.
