Shylock melhor personagem... Bassânio e Antônio são tão sem sal. Nunca vi, cruz credo! Por mim fazia toda uma história com a Jéssica e o Lorenzo curtindo Veneza adoidado com o macaco... E agora quero um universo alternativo onde a Pórcia larga o Bassânio e vai atrás do príncipe de Marrocos viver um amor inconsequente, pq ela mais que merece

Surprisingly enjoyable yet slightly problematic (AKA a summary of every Shakespeare play ever) A big fan of Portia because of obvious reasons. All hail a queen. 3.5 stars

önsözde anti-semitik içeriğin bulunması yazarın anti-semitik görüşe sahip olduğunun anlamına gelemeyeceği yazılmış. bu ancak bir tarafın kazanması gibi bir durum söz konusu olmadığında söylenebilir bence. shylock'un oyunlarının kendine dönmesi, hatta bunun sonucunda hristiyan olmak zorunda kalması anti-semitik bir ifadedir bana kalırsa. shakespeare'den şimdiye kadar okuduğum en kötü eserdi, kendimi de suçlayabilirim, belki derinliğini filan kavrayamadım. bilemiyorum.

Well written but the anti-semitism left an extremely bitter after taste.

This was an alright play, it has pretty controversial subject matter which made me a bit uncomfortable

I liked it, but there are other plays that I like more.

I loved this play when I saw it performed on stage, so my view of the text is largely reflective of that. The subject of this play is difficult, and I think my review would be far more negative if I hadn’t seen an adaptation which framed the characters negatively and condemned their treatment of Shylock. Every action taken against him carved another chunk of his soul out and left him a husk of his former self. And juxtaposing that with the happily-married endings of the other characters in the final scene tipped it into tragedy.

I personally think that Shylock isn't innocent, but he definitely did NOT deserve what happened to him...
