the merchant of venice by william shakespeare act iii - scene i SHYLOCK To bait fish withal: if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. He hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million; laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies; and what's his reason? 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 you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villany you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.

Such as? And how do you know that no-one else didn't say anything? He was a playwright and so a man of great standing and influence; that in itself doesn't mean he could be the only one that had this insight.

yes she's amazing! my favorite is "Bridal Ballad"

i agree with you...but shakespeare was ingenious, and for this play in particular he did see and point out some things that no one bothered to pay attention to back then

That's not really anything that Shakespeare can take too much credit for. "History repeats itself as farce" -Karl Marx
Mogwai786 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
That's a bit of a specious statement to make. Yes he was a great playwright, but it's a bit incredulous to say that: "he understood society and its institutions like no one else"; weak argument from silence.

Shakespeare was an astounding genius. To the Hebes out there, no, he was not a Jew. First he understood society and it's institutions like no one else, then had a searing wit that laid it bare.
