Excerpt from Shylock, the History of a Character Jewish figure which has impressed itself on the imagination of the world and become a universal symbol of Jewry. Lessing's Nathan, Dickens' Fagin - to choose two extremes - are memorable, but they never achieved or came near to achieving the archetypal status of Shylock. For in Shylock are combined, in a mighty imaginative creation, the passionate determination to revenge the secular wrongs of Jewry with a scorching and irrefutable indictment of the Christianity which inflicted them. He emerges in the play more as a Shakespearian hero than a Shakespearian villain. Compare him with Iago, and what has been called Iago's motiveless malignity. The malignity of Shylock is more than motived; it is justified. The suffering and injustice of a thousand years of spiritual outlawry seek through him their just 'revenge: were it not that revenge is stamped as unjust by the eternal law that is written in the human heart.

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Augsburg, course: Proseminar, 9 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice surely can be considered one of the playwright's greatest works. Still today critics are not fully aware of its actual meaning and there are many different opinions of how this play is to be interpreted. As a matter of fact we can say that Shakespeare has created one of the most diverse plays in the history of drama. Containing two equally important plot-lines and several sub-plots it is very difficult to make out even one main character or to be absolutely sure about their variety of intentions. On the one hand there is one of the main characters, the Jew Shylock, "a comic antagonist far more important than any such figure had been in his [Shakespeare's] earlier comedies," who plays the role of a non-Christian villain. And opposing him we have the Venetian society with all its flaws and hypocrisies which are pointed out during the conflict with Shylock. On the other hand there is the romantic love story between Portia and Bassanio located in remote Belmont, which is the actual trigger for the conflict between Antonio and Shylock and also brings a solution to it. This solution is due to Portia's cunning and liberation as a woman, which can be seen in her disguising as the judge in order to be able to save Antonio's life; there are only two qualities which are supposed to be quite unusual for a female character of that time. But at the same time she has to fulfil her typical role as "a faithful daughter whatever the consequence," yielding to fate by obeying her father's will. And Portia is not the only ambigous and exceptional figure of the play.

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Trier, course: Literaturwissenschaftliches Kolloquium, 11 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The precise date for the composition of Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" is unknown (Cerasano 97), but it must have been written "sometime between 1596 and 1598" (Gross 19). It was first printed in 1600 (Cerasano 2), with the title: "The most excellent History of the Merchant of Venice. With the extreame crueltie of Shylocke the Iewe towards the sayd Merchant, in cutting a iust pound of his fleshe: and the obtayning of Portia by the choyse of three chests. As it hath beene divers times acted by the Lord Chamberlaine his servants" (Alexander 8). This title might give the one or other reader food for thought. It implies that Shakespeare's contemporaries must have seen the play, especially the character Shylock, "in dissimilar terms" from us nowadays (Cerasano 55). The following work will shed some light on the changes in reception and interpretation of "The Merchant of Venice", which have developed from the time of its creation until today, which is an absolutely natural process, as "texts change with time and audience" (Alexander 90). To get to the bottom of these changes, especially the character Shylock and the attitudes of the audiences of the different centuries towards him have to be brought into focus. This work will show in what ways these attitudes and thus the reception have changed and where these changes derive from. In addition to that, a selection of suggestions made by twentieth-century critics for interpreting the play, as it might have been meant to be by Shakespeare, will be introduced. His underlying intention has been debated over very much, which has given rise to an abundance of divergent interpretations, especially about how Shylock has to be assessed and how Shakespeare himself saw him.
