The feelings of the Merchant of Venice

When someone said to Sherlock that even if Antonio didn't pay back, you wouldn't cut his flesh, would you? What impressed me most about Sherlock's answer was this passage: "Do Jews have no eyes? Do Jews have no hands? No organs, no height? No senses, feelings, and passions? Don't eat the same food? Nope Stabbed by the same weapon? Won't be hit by the same disease? Won't be cured by the same method? Don't feel the heat and cold like the Christians? You scratch us, we won't bleed? You scratch us, we won't Laugh? You poison us, we won't die? If we are like you in other respects, we will be like you in this respect. The sins you teach us, we will also practice." Sherlock replied with a long rhetorical question. Prove that Jews and Christians are the same. However, the treatment is different. This triggered the resentment that Sherlock had endured for a long time in his heart. to eventually explode.
Where is Sherlock when we are rejoicing at the happy ending? How does he feel? No one cares about us! Therefore, this despised nation will suffer the disaster of extinction in the future.
And today's Israel seems to be completing the punishment for some countries that it once did not complete to Antonio.

The Merchant of Venice quotes

  • Shylock: O father Abraham, what these Christians are, whose own hard dealings teaches them suspect the thoughts of others. I pray you, tell me this. If he should break his day, what should I gain by the exaction of the forfeiture? A pound of a man's flesh taken from a man is not so estimable, profitable neither, as flesh of muttons, beefs, or goats. I say, to buy his favour, I extend this friendship. If he will take it, so. If not, adieu. And, for my love, I pray you, wrong me not.

    Antonio: Shylock, I will seal unto this bond.

  • Prince of Morocco: Dislike me not for my complexion, the shadowed livery of the burnished sun, to whom I am a neighbour and a near bred. Yallah! Yallah!
