Question

why does launcelot says'' There is no mercy for Jessica in heaven because she is a jew''.​

Answer 1

Answer:

B'coz according to Launcelot and even The Elizabethan period, it was believed that only Christians will go to heaven. Moreover, Shylock (Jessica's father) is a the antagonist in the play.. Launcelot thinks that Jessica will not go to heaven because she's the daughter of a merciless Jew.. So he says so.. This points out the racial discrimination that was going on those days..
