	Shylock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shylock is a central character in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.
		Shylock realizes this is impossible and says he will now accept the money but Portia intercedes and says that he is guilty of threatening the life of a Christian and therefore must be punished.
		Shylock's profession as a moneylender is frequently used to support claims of anti-Semitism in the play.

	Masterpiece Theatre \| The Merchant of Venice \| Essays + Interviews \| Shylock and History
		Shylock is a complex man, whose every action can be understood and who, finally, elicits understanding from his audience.
		Shylock began the play much as an Elizabethan audience would expect: He exhibited every sign of being the piece's villain.
		Shylock was the very picture of a man who suffered much at the hands of his fellow men and who had finally reached his breaking point.

	Shylock
		Shylock, a wealthy Jew is one of the main characters.
		Shylock also held a grudge against Antonio because he lent out money, without charging interest, as this was forbidden according to Christian faith and this had and adverse effect on Shylock's business.
		When Shylock realised his mistake and discovered that his life was in the hands of the judge, he was the first to beg for mercy.

	Alan A. Stone: Redeeming Shylock
		Shylock’s lines express the core of Christian anti-Semitism—the Jews as Christ-killers—and the trial scene is a struggle between New Testament and Old, between Christian mercy and Jewish vengeance.
		A backstory, in theory, would give Shylock, Portia, Antonio, and the others a psychobiographical foundation that would be the platform for the actors’ interpretations of their roles, on the assumption that character is the record of individual experience.
		Shylock confides to his friend, “Thou torturest me, Tubal: it was my turquoise; I had it of Leah when I was a bachelor: I would not have given it for a wilderness of monkeys.” “Wilderness of monkeys” is an unforgettable phrase and is not, I think, about greed.

	[No title]
		Shylock was alleged to have plotted against the life of a Christian merchant and was ruled guilty.
		That is, unless, just as Shylock was misjudged, we have also misjudged Portia, and as Bassanio, who later marries her, declares, "Portia's counterfeit." To be sure, Bassanio says this of her portrait and seems to mean that the picture doesn't do her justice.
		While Shylock is called a usurer, it is interesting to note that he grants a free loan to Antonio to "win [Antonio's] love" and as called for by the Torah in lending to a fellow Jew and, incidentally, as the Talmud requires even for a Jew who had converted.

	William Shakespeare: "The Merchant of Venice" - Shylock Vs. Antonio
		Shylock prides himself on his thrift, while in the gentile world it was most probably, as it is today, looked down upon.
		Shylock didn't care about his daughter after she betrayed him, but only wanted his possessions to be returned.
		Shylock's own daughter had abandoned the faith which he loved, and he was persecuted for.

	William Shakespeare - Shylock, A Victim of Himself in "The Merchant of Venice"
		Shylock realizes that he does not have the money on hand to lend to Antonio, and instead of turning Antonio down for the loan, he plans to borrow the money from another.
		Shylock is so intent upon binding Antonio, that when he himself cannot fulfill the request, he risks his own reputation simply for revenge against Antonio.
		Shylock is so eager for this opportunity that he doesn't think about the specifics of the bond between he and Antonio.

	Amazon.ca: Shylock: Books: Mark Leiren-Young (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Shakespeare has always been a dangerous playwright for simple-minded commissars of political correctness, cultural appropriation, and gender stereotyping, who have continually sought to "purify" or stifle some of his plays that are at odds with their agendas.
		Leiren-Young's perspective on Shylock is simplistic: it correctly rejects the stereotypes of "ethnic fool" and "wounded Jew", but in settling for a villain forced to withstand assaults of history, the playwright narrows the character instead of allowing him to be an anomaly—such as are many of Shakespeare's great characters.
		Shylock is an award-winning play about a Jewish actor who finds himself condemned by his own community for his portrayal of Shakespeare's notorious Jew.

	Portia & Shylock: Outsiders of Venice
		Shylock, the Outsider of Venice, is most precisely fixed within the structure of the play by his confrontation with that other outsider, Portia of Belmont, and she is, in turn, illuminated by the obstinate opposite she faces.
		Shylock has paid three thousand ducats to feed his revenge, to purchase the death of the man he hates; Portia offers more than thrice that sum to deface his deadly bond, to rescue her dear bought husband's dearest friend.
		Instead, Shylock plunges on, to demand the letter of the law, to draw his deeds literally on his own head, and to be forced to accept what he had refused to give--a grudging mercy.

	Shylock
		But Shylock made his profits primarily not from the interest he charged but by foreclosing on the property of the businessmen who were unable to make good on their loans with him.
		The audience knew that Shylock's demanding a pound of flesh for security was not realistic, but I think that, for many at least, a pound of flesh was not by any means an absurd metaphor for the demands for payment made on desperate borrowers by usurers.
		Shylock is the dynamic heart of the play, the force that makes us want to read it and want to perform it.

		Shylock's story and Jessica's are told by an omniscient narrator, and don't completely answer the questions posed by the play, though they offer a few more ideas for discussion.
		Shylock's history and one-sided conversations with his dead wife are unlikely to interest teens.
		The title leads us to expect Shylock's daughter Jessica to be the martyred heroine of Pressler's book, but the plot systematically paints her as the most unlikeable character in it.

	Enter Shylock
		Shylock reveals a great deal of himself with his opening words.
		Shylock says: “Three thousand ducats; well.” He can say it with any of the colors that John Gross suggests: I add only that the last word of the line is very much a part of it.
		Shylock’s first line, unlike anything we have so far heard in the play, could have been written today.

	"Shylock in Germany" - W. Beatty-Kingston (MERCHANT OF VENICE)
		Gervinus appraises Shylock as the very refuse of mankind, absorbed in petty considerations, watchfully preoccupied, systematically self-restrained; always ready to avail himself of the meanest expedient in order to achieve the most insignificant end; profoundly cunning and replete with penny-wisdom.
		Shylock, as rendered by Seydelmann, was the incorporation of a persecuted nation's accumulated wrath.
		His Shylock was one of splendid contrasts and artistic blendings - neither distinctly tragical nor pronouncedly comical, but so deft a dovetailing of both "lines" that the intellectual joinery defied detection.

	SHYLOCK Gialorgues reviews and MP3
		SHYLOCK are from the KING CRIMSON school of progressive rock in style but have certainly their own unique style and delivery.
		Shylock were a french band that played all-instrumental prog pieces in a very king crimsonesque way but still this album is not a clone of crimson and should be taken for a spin on your stereo.
		shylock were a three piece band playing organ,guitar,drums while the bass on the album was played by the guitarist frederick l'epee,who should be mentioned as a great guitarist a la Robert Fripp from crimson.

	The Problem of Shylock
		Shylock is decidedly multi-dimensional and possibly, according to some Shakespearean critics, "more sinned against than sinning." 1 Hundreds of scholars have conjectured about Shakespeare's motives in creating Shylock, and the debate will no doubt continue until Will comes back to share his thoughts.
		Shylock is required to give half of his wealth to Antonio, to leave the other half to Lorenzo and Jessica upon his death, and to become a Christian.
		Shylock explains what he means: that Antonio is sufficient as a guarantor, even though his ships are at sea and their fate is uncertain.

	Operation Shylock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Operation Shylock: A Confession (ISBN 0-671-70376-5) is novelist Philip Roth's 19th book and was published in 1993.
		A major concern of Roth's fiction since the 1970s has been the relationship between a writer's life and work.
		Though this topic is thoroughly explored in Roth's series of Zuckerman novels, Operation Shylock even more radically attacks the distinction between life and art by making a fairly mimetic version of the author the protagonist of an obviously invented (though plausible) story.

	Harvard Divinity Bulletin - Kevin Madigan - Shylock Re-Shot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Closer to home, Shylock entered the rants and screeds of Ezra Pound, Father Coughlin, and similar crackpots, who saw in him an archetype of "Jewish" vengeance, greed, and legalism, not to mention fondness for international conspiracy.
		Shylock was played by Werner Krauss, best known for having taken on the leading role (many roles, actually) in The Jew Suess.
		When Shylock learns he is to be converted, Pacino majestically buries his face in his hands, ruthlessly cut off from the rich religious tradition and the Venetian community in which he had been cradled and nourished.

		Such a villainous character is this Shylock that he demands a pound of the gentile Antonio's flesh as payment for a delinquent debt.
		Shylock, for all his treachery, was the farcical character in a romantic comedy.
		Armstrong connects the dots between Shylock's keen sense of injustice and his bitter, vengeful spirit, which we see spiral down into uncompromising villainy and even cause him to transgress his own religious beliefs.

	Shylock. The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition. 2002
		‡ Shylock is a Jew, and there has long been controversy over whether Shakespeare’s portrayal of Shylock contributes to prejudice against Jews.
		Shylock is a cruel miser and eventually is heavily fined and disgraced, but he maintains his dignity.
		At one point in the play, he makes a famous, eloquent assertion that his desire for revenge is the same desire that a Christian would feel in his place.

		The one codicil to the loan is that, should it not be repaid by the specified date, Shylock would receive a pound of Antonio's flesh in lieu of the cash.
		But Shylock's request for a pound of flesh can be viewed as a metaphor for what happens if you discount people and treat them as subhuman.
		Anti-Semitism is why Shylock is despised in the play but my take is it's the same for anyone who's marginalised or demoralised.

	Shylock - Gareth Armstrong (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Shylock is a monologue of about eighty minutes in length.
		And while length cannot stand as sole criterion of a work, it does matter to the scope and density of this recital that may or may not be called a play.
		We are told he is Shylock's "best and only" friend, and so the second of the two Jewish men in Shakespeare; but this is thin justification for his existence as a theatrical fiction.

	Shylock (Part 3)
		Shylock appears in only five scenes of the play, and in each scene his language is different.
		Shylock is much less concerned with the loss of his daughter (who, incidentally, he did not treat especially kindly) than with the loss of the money and jewels she took with her.
		But interspersed with Shylock's wailing about the loss of his daughter and the ducats and jewels she took with her is his joy that Antonio will be ruined and will be forced to forfeit the pound of flesh he pledged.

		The character of Shylock is that of a man brooding over one idea, that of its wrongs, and bent on one unalterable purpose, that of revenge.
		KEAN appeared again in Shylock, and by his admirable and expressive manner of giving the part, fully sustained the reputation he had acquired by his former representation of it, though he laboured under the disadvantage of considerable hoarseness.
		He assumed a greater appearance of age and feebleness than on the first night, but the general merit of his playing was the same.
