The Merchant of Venice is a play written by Shakespeare from 1569 to 1597. It's been a long time, and I can't feel the background of the time at that time. More or less know the reasons why some Jews were excluded. But now it seems that it is really a story of Christians talking about the truth, goodness and beauty, kindness and generosity, while spitting on the minority and disadvantaged Jews who have been stripped of their property ownership.
I don't know how much the Jews have been blamed for their advanced wisdom. Can't own property, so Sherlock took his own money and borrowed it to earn interest. The ignorant Antonio held high the banner of truth, goodness and beauty to abuse and suppress his behavior. However, hundreds of years later Marx demonstrated how reasonable the generation of interest is.
In the first scene of the movie, Antonio spit on Sherlock's face, spit on the face of a man who has lived fifty or sixty years. Why do you trample on other people's self-esteem like this? It takes decades to trample. Not only do you have to trample yourself, but you also have to let others trample along with you based on your reputation and prestige. How hateful this person is. What's wrong with cutting his flesh? Finally, Sherlock was asked to convert. Convert a religious person! What a disgusting and insulting thing this is. and! Moreover, the hateful thing is that Antonio has always had the face of a handsome gentleman, which is misleading.
As for the lines, I also like Sherlock's lines very much, and I'm tired of praising kindness and tolerance. What "Compassion is not forced, it rains down from heaven on earth like rain; it has a double blessing, it blesses the giver and the receiver", I think it's all bullshit. Morality is for self-discipline, not for you to think about it. Instead, Sherlock's lines are full of calls for "equality, freedom, and human rights". "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?" This can be said to be the most classic Well, Sherlock's arguments with people in court are also very interesting and worth watching. Also, Shakespeare's lines are really beautiful, but I always find it weird to watch people in a movie.
And Sherlock and his daughter, your father worked so hard to raise you, and he was such a cherished father who spent so much money to raise you. If you say go, just go, and I really can't understand if you don't even ask if the old man is so miserable.
I have also read the book "Romeo and Juliet" before, and the gei is not Shakespeare's point. The sentences are quite beautiful, but I just think that if anyone talks like that in reality, then there is definitely something wrong with him.
