Answer 1

Answer:

Perhaps an overlooked “missing mother” in Shakespeare's work is Leah, the deceased wife of Shylock and mother of Jessica in Merchant of Venice. The only mention of her in the text comes when Jessica sells a ring given from Leah to Shylock, an act that helps cement Jessica's abandonment of her father's Jewish culture.
