I didn't read the original book, but I watched the movie this time. After watching it, it was considered a good ending for those who were Christians at the time. The ending of Sherlock, the Jew, was very sad, although he showed his contract with Antonio. They are ruthless, but Christians treat them even more ruthlessly, insulting them, setting expressions on them, making them wear red hats when they go out during the day, and calling them Jewish dogs. Antonio is very good to his friends, but he used to use Is the act of spitting on Sherlock really unbearable, just because Sherlock is Jewish? Maybe it was because he was almost killed by Sherlock for fulfilling the contract in the end. Seeing his weakness and helplessness, maybe he understood the Jews a little bit. Maybe after reflection, he was not so ruthless towards Sherlock in the end, but Sherlock was not so ruthless. I also want to convert to Christianity. I don’t know how other people feel when they have seen the Merchant of Venice. I didn’t dislike this character because of Sherlock’s ruthlessness towards Antonio. I can't forget what you said for a long time, we Jews are like you, summer will be hot, winter will be cold, you stab us, we will also bleed, you insult my nation, insult my friends, family, my friends who leave home And family, we are all the same, if we Jews insult you, you will be generous with revenge, we follow your example, you insult us, we also learn your generosity. During the court battle, Bassanio's friends called Charlotte Jewish dogs, the judge called Charlotte Jewish, like a label, and the judge also said how good a Christian is. Charlotte said that I have a daughter, and even if I let her marry a robber, I don't want her to marry a Christian. How much resentment does he have towards Christians to do this? The status of the Jews at that time was too low.

    I think it may have violated Shakespeare's original purpose, and even felt that those people were bullying poor Sherlock. Al’s Sherlock is a sympathetic poor old man. His daughter ran away and couldn’t get the money back. In fact, how normal is money lending? Since ancient times, how many people really did lend money to money like Antonio? ! In addition, the act of disguising women as men has never been tolerated. Some women like to be aggressive, but it's not Mulan
