Shylock is sinned against the sinning because
Shylock may sin when he makes the contract with Antonio saying that he must pay back the 3000D within 3months if he lends it to him, or he can take 1lb of flesh from his body, but it is not clear whether he wants to harm Antonio because he claims to want “Only friendship”. Later on in the scene he has his aside and he tells the audience that he hates Antonio. “For he is a Christian” and he will do anything to harm him. The quote from his aside is clearly racist and this breaks one of Gods rules “Love thy neighbour” (Leviticus). But later on there is evidence for the Christians breaking this rule as well. Shylock says to Antonio
“You spat on me Wednesday last,
You spurned me such a day, another time
You call me dog:”
Shylocks daughter Jessica steals money and jewels from Shylock and this is clearly a sin because she is breaking one of the 10 commandments “Thou shall not steal”
She also elopes with Lorenzo and this is clearly a sin according to the 10 commandments because you should “Respect your father and your mother”. When she has to turn from a Jew into a Christian in order to marry Lorenzo, it becomes unclear whether changing belief i.e. changing from Jew to Christian is a sin, because Shylock doesn’t say to Jessica at any point. “Don’t become a Christian” so therefore she is not breaking any of the 10 commandments such as “Respect your father and your mother”
In court when Antonio has failed to pay back the sum of money that Shylock is owed, Shylock refuses the correct sum of money that has now been found by Antonio and wants “only my bond”. Even when Shylock is offered 6 times the money owed he say’s “I only want my bond”. Strictly speaking it is not a sin to refuse the money but as we find out later, he wants to harm Antonio and could not care less about the money he has lent.
Shylock has been shown as the villain of the drama. In the beginning his evil nature is portray through his absurd demand and his justification for revenge. But at the end his sinned against than sinning.
Shylock not only loses his daughter and wealth but also loses respect and all his survival wealth towards the end. The reason for this suffering was just that he wanted to harm a person who had insulted him for he was a Jew. The insults , grudge and hatred which Antonio had shown to Shylock for years were much more than Shylock's one sin of taking revenge.
Antonio condemned Shylock as non- believer just beacuse he was a Jew. All religions teaches to be good to others and respect everyone. But Antonio does not follow this and insults a person and mocks his religion. Here Shylock turns out to be good as he has never commented on Antonio's religion. This is a grave sin by Antonio.
