Throughout William Shakespeare’s play‚ The Merchant of Venice‚ there is a strong theme of prejudice. Portia has to deal with prejudice against her sex‚ the Prince of Morocco has to deal with prejudice against his race but the character that is most discriminated against is Shylock. He is hated for being a Jew and a money-lender‚ but Shakespeare has not made Shylock a character easy to sympathise with.

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.
