    A Feminist Analysis of Gender Identity in Hamlet and The Merchant of Venice William Shakespeare’s diverse female characters started to revolutionize views of gender in the Renaissance‚ though women were not treated as equals to men until modern times because of the patriarchal views that were instilled in society. The feminist approach in this presentation works to disprove Shakespeare’s traditional critics. I use a feminist approach to prove that Shakespeare’s representation of gender is more flexible

    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. Shakespeare

    or unjust ways at one point in the story‚ whether it is predominantly as selfishness‚ cruelty‚ or vindictiveness. But does this pronounce them villains? Whilst Shylock is portrayed as a villain in more than one aspect‚ does this not warrant that Portia‚ being unjustly biased and unlawful‚ also be given the title of villain? Should not Shylock’s daughter Jessica be labelled a villain for her deceptive and larcenist actions and Antonio for his bigotry and obstinacy? And what of Bassanio; does he not
