Character - study - Shylock - English

 Shylock Character Study #3

Many characters hold anti Semitic views, but in places Shakespeare lets Shylock speak from the heart and suddenly we see him as a human, not a stereotype.
  • In A1S3 when Shylock offers to lend money without interest some argue that he is being kind, do you agree?He wanted revenge on Antonio

  • In A3S1 Shylock suffers great losses. Look for suggestions of his sorrow, loneliness and feelings for his dead wife.He's daughter ran away,and he lost his ducats

  • In A4S1 when Shylock is sentenced, we again feel pity for him. Why is this an achievement for Shakespeare (consider his audience) He was being selfish and was only thinking of himself

  • The Merchant of Venice is considered a comedy, however the character of Shylock makes it feel more of a tragi-comedy. Do you feel he is portrayed more as a villain or victim. Write a paragraph explaining your thoughts with supporting evidence from the play.I think he was a villain cause he was only thinking about himself.He didn't care much of his daughter when she ran away but he cared about his ducats and jewels.He's a selfish man cause he only cares about himself and his ducats and Jewels.

  • It has been argued that the play should be renamed ‘The Jew of Venice’. Why do you think this is? Would it change your initial view of the play? Would it be a more suitable name? It wouldn't change anything because Shylock is one of the main characters and he's most talked about in the story.

social studies - Governments


  learning Objective:To find out about different Of government and understand how governments differ from each other




Personality of a Dictator, I believe that most dictators are people that use force and uses other ways to gain power. From my understanding of reading and watching world war's Dictator [Like Stalin and Hitler] they seem to have the traits of a person who likes to fight and start or be part in Wars. Example Stalin raised in the Soviet ranks because of his communism skills by persuading people about his thoughts. Therefore I mostly think that a Dictator is mostly a Force and Power Hungry person.
