Shylock’s Tragedy Caused by Religion The Christians considered the Jews was malicious and they harmed Jesus from the New Testament and other books on religion. For such Jews who don’t believe Jesus, Christians treated the Jews certainly bad, they hated the Jews, and discriminated the Jews merits, especially Shylock who was the usurer while he is a Jew. So, how could they found the justice in the world ruled by Christianity. In the history of the Jews’ development, they were connected with “vagrant”, “persecuted”, “discriminated”. The Jews hadn’t status no matter in which economic and in which society in the Middle Ages. They were deprived of the right to engage in proper job. They couldn’t go into business like mon people.

Even without child, they also had to pay. For them, the chance which could survive were slim. Some of them who had little ducats would choose as a usurer, but this job was hated by the ruler. In the eyes of the Christian, as if Jews liked to do this job inherently, as if Jews naturally were a miser, greedy ghost, coldblooded cruel animal, as if Jews were inferior race and the devil from they were born. They think the Jesus teaches them “tolerance”, so they didn’t want to see Antonio’s death, Gratiano said “Beg that thou mayst have leave to hang thyself”, and Duke said:That thou shalt see the difference of our spirits,I pardon thee thy life before thou ask it.For half thy wealth, it is Antonio’s。 well?”, “For three months。 This the fool that lent out money gratis”(Act iii Scene iii). When Bassanio wants to return him two, three times money, he refuses and insists on carrying out the contract. With the development of fighting against racism, and the Holocaust by Hitler during the World War Ⅱ, gradually, the topic about the Jews were no longer a joke. People found The Merchant of Venice is not just a edy. When we analyzing it from Shylock, it is a tragedy. Moreover, Shylock’s tragedy is no longer a joke, people began to reanalysis.
