Ultimately, the play explores the idea that the human condition relies heavily on varying changes in behaviour. The theme is also explored in the Merchant of Venice through the portrayal of religious and social inequality, where some individuals are represented as inhumane and the whole idea of qualifying as a human relies heavily on Christian orientation. This engages with the idea of religious prejudice and a lack of religious empathy for others. ]]> 2018-03-27 03:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aevans59/inau5ycly202/wish/246347435 https://padlet.com/aevans59/inau5ycly202/wish/246347754 " I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is?

" If I could bid the fifth welcome with so good
heart as I can bid the other four farewell, I should
be glad of his approach. If he have the condition of
a saint and the complexion of a devil, I had rather
he should shrive me than wive me."

"Express'd in the condition, let the forfeit
Be nominated for an equal pound
Of your fair flesh, to be cut off and taken
In what part of your body pleaseth me." Act 1, Scene 1

"If thou wilt lend this money, lend it not
As to thy friends, for when did friendship take
A breed for barren metal of his friend?
But lend it rather to thine enemy,
Who, if he break, thou mayst with better face
Exact the penalty"

"I hate him for he is a christian"

Throughout the entire play, Shylock is seen as a animal and not respected as a human. He is rejected and closed off from society due to his race by a variety of main characters. This causes Shylock to act in the way he does.]]> 2018-03-27 03:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/aevans59/inau5ycly202/wish/246349973 https://padlet.com/aevans59/inau5ycly202/wish/246351998 2018-03-27 04:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aevans59/inau5ycly202/wish/246351998
