He is hated for being a Jew and a money-lender‚ but Shakespeare has not made Shylock a character easy to sympathise with. He appears to be mean and cruel and it seems as though he loves money above all things. However during the play there are moments when Shakespeare gives Shylock speeches which show his humanity. In these moments‚ although at the time it was written there was little

This is chiefly due to Shylocks Jewish background
