JEW THAT shAkEsPEARE DREW

Most people appear to think that
Shylock must either be demon or
a savior. He is. In truth, mixture
of both-the mantle Jew! Once
more the poet shows the impartiality
of the Judge in dealing with Shylock.
He presents in him the vices as we'll
as the virtues of his race. Domestic
ity Is one of the Hebraic virtues. The
love of his daughter commends him
to our sympathies-anon his vengeful
and cruel nature commands our CEN
sure. It is. therefore, ridiculous to
present Shylock as 4 merely sympa-
thetic character. OF course, the Gull
mipation of suffering creates sym
pathy. with any man, and. while laugh
ing at his pretensions. we weep at
his griefs. There can be no doubt
that at the time Shakespeare wrote
The Merchant of Venice" the Jews
were mot regarded with high favor,
and Shylock's first speech shows he
is informed by the spirit Of revenge.
l do not deny that Shylock had just
cause to be angry, and 1t has been
said that revenge Is primitive form
Of Justice. But Just when we begin
to think that Shylock is becoming
the martyr.hero of the play, and that
all our sympathies are meant for him.
Shakespeare. the altruist. enters upon
the scene and gives us the immortal
speech on the quality of mercy, which,
bursting the walls Of the narrow
court. breaches to humanity the eter-
nal message of Christian forgiveness.
