It can be described as a great interpretation of the nature of racial and religious interactions, as it involves a Jewish character, Shylock. The character of Shylock is supposed to be the typical, blood-thirsty Jewish villain, but he has been the subject of modern scholarly debate over whether the playwright displays anti-Semitism or religious tolerance in his characterization, for, despite his stereotypical usurious nature, Shylock is depicted as one understandable, full of hate, having been both verbally and physically abused by Christians. Shakespear portrays discrimination toward the jews in this play. He should be condemned for his cruelty and greed, but as a Jew, a pagan, his suffering from the oppression against the race and the religion is worth for our sympathy.
