I agree that the argument that he was trying to show the humanity of others could be made from Shylock's speech, but what do you think of the fact that the payment was "a pound of flesh?" Do you think Shakespeare might have been displaying anti-Semitic prejudice here? (You could even point out the fact that Shylock is a moneylender, a Jewish stereotype).Justin Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06174433747464094565noreply@blogger.com
