Shylock’s Downfall: The Merchant of Venice By Raghav Kaushik [KorektPhool] In Shakespeare’s play The Merchant of Venice‚ the character of Shylock is partially responsible for his own downfall. Shylock is a victim of a society that values trade over human life; he falls foul to a city that regards Jews such as himself as inferiors; and even the intricate details of the law plays a part in his demise.
