How far is Shylock a character for whom we can feel sympathy? How would a contemporary audience’s response to him differ from that of an audience in Shakespeare’s time? Shylock isn’t a character for whom we can feel much sympathy for because he always seems to be thinking about himself and his money rather than other people around him. Through most of the play he seems selfish‚ and it seems in some parts of the play as though he doesn’t care about his daughter. He also has a very strict religion

"The truth will set you free" is a quote of Bible scripture that is often taken out of context and thus used entirely incorrectly. Even so‚ at first‚ it would be difficult to see the validity of this quote in the story of The Big Kahn‚ a sequential drama by Neil Kleid and illustrated by Nicolas Cinquegrani which narrates a story of a Jewish family weighed down by its father’s heaviest lie. Everyone reacts negatively when faced with the truth of rabbi David Kahn‚ they feel shocked and even betrayed

Edward Said’s orientalism is a way of seeing middle east countries that emphasizes and distorts the differences of Arab cultures and their people compared to Europe and the U.S. When watching Arab Labor there is a sense of a cultural divide between the Palestinians and the Jewish population against Europe and U.S. Some of the characters are very stereotypical of what people think of when talking about Palestinians. One of the examples that is orientalist is the portrayal of the Alian family’s mechanic

The Office (especially the British version‚ with Ricky Gervais instead of Steve Carell). Great – because that’s Willy Loman in a nutshell. He’s delusional‚ thinks everyone loves him‚ and is depressing in an "I’m manifesting everyone’s fears about obsession with material success" kind of way. But now that we’ve gotten a flashy pop culture reference out of the way‚ let’s get to the bigger picture. Death of a Salesman is often considered an attack on the American Dream. Sound familiar?

Shakespeare portrays the characters Shylock and Antonio in the trial scene to be victims of the trial scene. In my opinion‚ Shylock is the main victim as he is discriminated for following a different religion to everyone else in the court. Being a Jew meant that the other people in the court were racist against Shylock meaning that they treated him unfairly in comparison to Antonio; who was helped in every way so that he could win the trial and Shylock would not get his pound of flesh.
