Book Note: Shylock's Revenge
I've been doing some work on Merchant of Venice recently, and it involves a number of tangents. Shylock's Revenge isn't terribly interesting, but it has its place in the history of uses of the play.
Largely, it's a prose retelling of the play, but it has its own particularly anti-Semitic characterization of Shylock. I suppose one might expect that from the title—it isn't the story of a merchant of Venice but of his enemy and his attempt to gain revenge.
Let me give you a quick sample:
It's not far from the play's plot, but I think there's a greater connection between Shylock's Jewishness and his desire for vengeance.
