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

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.

Love the people you hate the most. God’s chosen people were called to love unconditionally‚ yet they absolutely hated the Samaritans. “Love your neighbor as yourself. For there is no commandment greater than these”(Mark 12:31). The Samaritans were viewed as a disgrace in the eyes of the Jews. “A person’s a person‚ no matter how small”(Dr. Seuss). What gives us the right to hate someone because of the way they look‚ what they believe‚ or how they live? Israel was split into the Northern and Southern

tale of The Moor of Venice‚ a novel that many consider to have been rescued from complete irrelevance solely by its connection to the highly acclaimed Shakespearean play. Proponents of simplicity and a focus on linear plotlines may argue that Cinthio’s novel is the “better” work‚ but the majority of theatre and literature enthusiasts value the detailed character development‚ poetic prowess‚ and vivacity of the story that Shakespeare was able to bring to the table.

Greg Clement Shakespeare was a man that established his name in history books as a great writer. One of Shakespeare’s many sparks of innovative genius which laminated these pages was his use of masks. Masks are used throughout Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” as a character would choose to wear their selected mask to fit in to the particular situation. Shakespeare uses this imagery of a mask in many of the characters in his play‚ but mostly in two: Viola and Feste. These masks are

An analysis of major characters: Shylock‚ villain or victim? Using evidence from act one and act two‚ it is believed that the revengeful shylock is indeed a villain based on his actions and statements. Firstly‚ through Shylock’s words‚ he shows how he is very spiteful. “I will buy with you‚ sell with you‚ talk with you‚ walk with you‚ and so following: but I will not eat with you drink with you‚ nor pray with you.” (1.3.30-33). In this quote‚ Shylock mentions to Bassanio how he will do everything

Is Shylock Tragic or Merely Evil? This essay will discuss whether Shylock is seen as the victim or the perpetrator. Whether he is characterized as a feeble man who loses everything or just a sinister old loon. I am ambivalent. I believe that Shylock is all of these things. I think‚ in one sense‚ he is able to evoke the audience’s sympathy through a variety of instances yet he causes us to loathe him through his brutal need for revenge and therefore his character. Shylock loathed Antonio‚ and
