What's wrong with Sherlock?

Sherlock, the Jewish old man, is full of sympathy. Who said that he loves money like his life, and for revenge, for the chance to get revenge at last, and to spit out the evil spirit of being bullied for a long time, he would rather give up the doubled gold coin compensation, which is clearly in pursuit of dignity. The narrow-mindedness and prejudice of Christians can be seen everywhere. At the beginning of the movie, Antonio spats Sherlock for no reason, which is extremely rude and vulgar!

"The Merchant of Venice" is a well-known drama, and it seems to have a standard interpretation. Sherlock has always been a villain, greedy, sinister, vicious, cruel, and people full of "sense of justice" cheered and applauded for his unfortunate ending. However, if we suspend the original concept, I believe that we will read a completely different flavor from this famous play by Shakespeare. A comedy for Antonio and his friends, and a tragedy for Sherlock, the helpless old man tries to win the case with the rules set by the other party, but he is eventually calculated and bullied.

The Merchant of Venice quotes

  • Salerio: Why, I am sure, if he forfeit thou wilt not take his flesh: what's that good for?

    Shylock: To bait fish withal: if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge.

  • Shylock: 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.
