- About several years ago, I have read The Merchant of Venise. While at that time, I thought Shylock was so selfish and the judgment of the duck was just for him, and he deserved for his misfortune, but now, I understand him: he is the tragedy of that time, and all he had done seem reasonable.
First, we should remember that Shylock was a Jew. At that time, Jewish people lived miserable life under the reign of Christians. For the discrimination of religions, the Jewish people had to pay higher taxes, and they had less right as well as were belittled by others. So they have to turn to doing business. We all know that most Jewish people had been successful businessmen, while in a certain degree they were forced to do so if they want to survive in that society. Shylock became a usurer because he had no other choices.
Second, Shylock’s hatreds toward Antonio were acceptable. On act 1 scene 3, Shylock said many bad manners of Antonio, while Antonio didn’t retort, which showed that these words were true. Why did Antonio treat Shylock in that way? The possible answer may be that Shylock was a Jew, and he demanded high interests. On the other hand, his daughter cheated him and run off with Lorenzo, who was a Christian, and her daughter took part of his fortune. This deepened his animosity toward Christians. We can see that no one was on his part, even his families.
Last, the judgment of the Duke seems fair, but if we consider more, we can find that actually it was unfair for Shylock. The compact between Shylock and Antonio could be valid for that it was underwritten by Antonio who was under no threat or force. On the other hand, the Duke called Shylock “Jew” instead of his name or “accuser”. We can see that the Duck was not for Shylock, and in some degree he discriminated him. Shylock was under the stress of the whole world, or in other words, Jewish people were despises by others. That was why Shylock asked for his right even though they offered him several times of his money. If we stand on his foot, we may do the same thing. Besides, at the end of the trial, half of his fortune was sent to his daughter ignoring that his daughter had took his money without his permission. Shylock was cheated by the world, and he can do nothing to change his condition.
So Shylock is a tragedy. He was the image of Jewish people’s lives at that time, and he was the tragedy of history. - 初次读威尼斯商人是十六岁，已有四年，此次重读，印象最深的还是“夏洛克”。只是少了许多对他的憎恶咒骂，多了几分同情怜悯。我想这就是成长吧，四年前的幼稚天真，心里容不下一丁点的丑恶，如今的成熟现实还有对现实的无奈，四年的时光似乎把我的棱角磨平、、、、、、二十岁的我在现实生活中经历了许多，见过许多的“夏洛克”，受过许多的冷嘲热讽，看惯了身边人的自私冷漠，但也学会了对他们的宽容，我知道或许他们是用自己的冷漠自私来保护自己不被社会伤害，我们只看到他们的冷酷，却看不到他们内心的恐慌落寞与孤独，他们或许只是社会的受害者，是社会的无奈与逼迫，也许他们也需要我们的关爱与尊重而非冷嘲热讽、、、、、、“夏洛克”应该让我们看到生活中的弱者，我们可以更宽容一些，多付出给他们再多一点的关爱，我们要学着去发现生活中的真善美，而并非是去放大社会中的丑与恶！
