Shylock is a victim or villain or combination of both. Discuss
Answers
Answer:
As is typical of Shakespeare's characterization, Shylock is neither a black nor a white character, but a mix, as real people are. To some extent, he is both victim and villain.
He is a victim of the anti-semitism that runs rampant in Venice. We learn, too, that he has, in particular, been a victim of Antonio, who does not hesitate to openly insult and revile him, and has even pulled his beard and been physically rough with him. Antonio both insults Shylock for being a money-lending Jew and then comes to him expecting to get a loan. We can easily understand how Shylock would feel a deep sense of injury at the way he has been treated.
