    ... ind. He, unlike other men, is constant. They all stab Caesar at Cassius's word. His final words are "Et tu Brute" meaning "you too Brutus?"

  • Love And Hate Merchant Of Venice
    1,070 words
    The Merchant of Venice is a play both about love and hate. Shakespeare illustrates the theme of hate most prominently through the prejudices of both Christians and Jews and their behaviour towards one another. The theme of love is shown amongst the Christians, in the love of friendship and marital love. The themes are emphasised in the settings of the play, Belmont symbolizing love and Venice symbolizing hate. As well as this the immorality of various characters can be seen in their motives for ...

  • Dramatic Irony Elizabethan Audience
    1,507 words
    Shakespeare presents Shylock as both a villain and a victim in 'The Merchant of Venice'. To what extent is this true? Shylock is shown as a villain because he has attempted to kill Antonio, he's abused Jessica's freedom and cares more about his money than his daughter. He is, however, presented as misunderstood and a victim, because not only is he physically abused in the text (he is spat on and kicked), his business is undermined, and he is an alien in his own city. A modern audience would not ...

  • Pound Of Flesh Sum Of Money

    There are many sides to this argument. The first is that Shylock does not sin at all, the second is that all the characters sin as much as each other, the third that Shylock is the only one who sins, the fourth that they all sin, but Shylock sins the most making the above statement false, and the fifth way of arguing it is to agree with the statement. Shylock may sin when he makes the contract with Antonio saying that he must pay back the 3000 D within 3 months if he lends it to him, or he can t...

  • Merchant Of Venice Antonio And Shylock
    820 words
    William Shakespeare shows how two tradesmen can have completely different lives when others view them differently in the play The Merchant of Venice. In the play, Bassanio, Antonio's friend, needs money to pursue his love. They seek a loan from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender in Antonio's name. The contract is for three times the value of the bond in three months or else Shylock cuts off a pound of flesh from Antonio. While all this is happening, there are love plots going on. One of which is for ...

  • The Merchant Of Venice Shylock Villain Or Victim
    1,788 words
    Many people are villainous in the way they behave. Their villainous acts may be attributed to their desire to destroy others and in turn elevate themselves to a higher financial or social level. However, the root cause of their villainy may be a response to the treatment they have endured at the hands of others. In short, they have been taught villainy, rather than it being an integral part of their personality. In such instances, revenge can be a key motivator in inspiring them to act in a vill...

  • Gender Roles In Shakespeare
    859 words
    It is a peculiar feature of Shakespeare's plays that they both participate in and reflect the ideas of gender roles in Western society. To the extent that they reflect existing notions about the 'proper' roles of men and women, they can be said to be a product of their society. However, since they have been studied, performed, and taught for five hundred years, they may be seen as formative of contemporary notions about the relationships between males, females, and power. Derrida was right in as...

  • Fathers And Children Relationships In Shakespeare Plays
    635 words
    Fathers and Children Relationships in Shakespeare's Plays Romeo and Juliet, The Merchant of Venice and Henry IV (part I) are some of the most well-known Shakespearean plays. All tree of them focus on child-father relationships, but they cover different aspects of these relationships. While Henry IV demonstrates Kings loyal and somewhat apathetic behavior towards his son Prince Hal, the other two plays show harsh and even cruel attitudes of fathers towards their daughters. This paper will argue t...

  • Merchant Of Venice Twelfth Night
    803 words
    William Shakespeare was a jack of all trades. He could do it all histories, tragedies, comedies, romances. While some people may say that Shakespeare s tragedies are the most popular, his comedies are as popular as the tragedies, if not more. However, comedies of Shakespeare s time are not what people of the twentieth century perceive to be comedy. Some of the elements of Shakespearean comedy are similar to today s comedy, such as physical comedy. People of Shakespeare s time found the fall Kate...

  • Christian Values Trial Scene
    898 words
    The idea of mercy is important in the Merchant of Venice because it provides a focus for the contrast between Venetian Christian society and the alien invader, represented by Shylock. Mercy occupies a central position in the trial scene (IV. i. ), where the power struggle between aristocratic Venetian society and the threatening force of Shylock comes to a climax. My thesis is that the contrast between (and equation of) mercy and revenge in the trial scene reveals the true nature of Venetian soc...

  • 16 Th Century Man And Wife
    2,241 words
    The critical question of most scholars studying William Shakespeare s writing was whether he was trying to stress the importance of equality and fairness amongst women or was he, as a male raised in the 16 th century, expressing his beliefs of women as a gender. Did Shakespeare truly believe, as he had Richard in Richard III state, that the differences of male and female was as simple as the words male and female being associated with different statements? For example, the word male being associ...
