Merchant Of Venice Shylock Villain Or Victim
861 wordsIn the play Merchant of Venice, there is always a lot of controversy about whether Shylock is a victim or a villain. The definition of victim is a person who dies or suffers as a result of voluntarily undertaking some enterprise or pursuit. Meaning someone who dies or suffers as a result of his or her own actions is still a victim. In accordance with the definition, in my opinion Shylock is a victim.

Shakespeare gives reasons for Shylock s actions; though they may be acts of hatred, it is not unjustified hatred. Instead, it is clear that the Antonio has given Shyl...
