hey, everyone out ther, i was just wondering Did shylock get a fair treatment in MOV.. ( the shakespeare play)
I think that he did not get a just and fair treatment

Firstly he enter the contract with Antinio willing and they both know the consequence..
If that case is brought to court of today, i would say that their contract is vaild, antonio is stupid to trust in bassiono.. Bassion is an idiot.. he is enjoy his luck while letting his friend antonio who put his life on line to help him to get his love portia..

Shylock Don't deserve his treatment in the end.. (anti-semistic) something like that.


Please feel free to discuss ..

No shit, Shylock!

Shylock didn't deserve that treatment since he wasn't exactly 'evil', was just doing his job and uh wanted revenge on whoever had spat on him for being a Jew (forgot who it was). He was treated that way because he was Jewish I think. That book was so

Yeh I thought they punished him a bit too much... but, oh well, it's a play =]

Shylock's pound of flesh would have killed Antonio, so no, he wasn't treated harshly.

welcome to anti-semitism and historical views of jews

I thought it was clever, but by modern standards, it wasnt fair. However, today, such a contract would never be entered.
