Shakespeare seems to show here that human relationships are complicated and diverse, and it's often hard to point to just one person as the "bad guy". Mason, that is crazy, I didn't know that either. I have no idea if the common person would have known, but Shakespeare certainly would have (he makes too many biblical allusions not to at least be familiar with something like that).Justin Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06174433747464094565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771321376037739122.post-10099119744064867612011-10-24T07:29:16.062-07:002011-10-24T07:29:16.062-07:00Jewish people weren't allowed in England durin...Jewish people weren't allowed in England during Shakespeare's time? That's crazy. I wonder then if the common person would have understood the rending of the garments too, or how they knew about culture and traditions of the Jewish culture.Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531062027095216173noreply@blogger.com
