Hey mate here is your new answer...
Shylock is a tragic figure, trapped by prejudice and driven to revenge by the treatment he receives" Discuss this statement with close reference to text and the language in the play Shylock is one of the interesting and intriguing characters in The Merchant of Venice. Those who agree with the title statement believe that throughout the play he is looked down upon, betrayed, isolated, punished and humiliated by Christian society and even by his own daughter and that it is this which leads him to madness and evilness and that he was always a good person underneath. The other argument is that Shylock is a greedy character and that he always was. A character that does anything he can to cause unhappiness for others and benefit financially from his evilness. The audience may believe that his greed and evilness may have started out with petty crimes, but have resulted in Shakespeare exposing the true extent of his evilness at the end of the play. Those who defend Shylock's actions or label his actions as understandable or comprehensible, are adamant that his wickedness which he shows towards Antonio at the end of the play coupled together with his attitude and heartlessness, are a result of alienation from his fellow Venetians, although they cannot argue against the merciless actions of Shylock throughout the play. Their belief that Shylock started off as a nice man looking purely for business is shown in Shylock's first appearance in the play in Act 1 Scene 3 when Bassanio is talking about Antonio taking out a loan on his behalf.

Shylock is a tragic character, but he represents more than that to various audiences. For Shakespeare's audience, Shylock would have been close to the Jewish stereotype found in many of the works of the Elizabethan era (and previous British writings). In Shakespeare's time, the Jew was often portrayed as a greedy villain whom writers used for humor's sake. Shakespeare does attempt to go beyond presenting Shylock as the stereotype of his day by eliciting some sympathy from the audience for Shylock's horrible plight at the play's end. However, before this point, the playwright makes Shylock look rather foolish.
