You are better at teaching than my own English teacherl lol 😂
This was amazing! Thank you so much!!
You're so welcome!
Congratulations ❤❤❤❤❤ very useful............
I liked your analysis for the most part. I would argue though that Shylocks insistence on the pound of flesh, while understandable given his treatment by Antonio and the Venetian society in general, is what caused the Venetians to retaliate in the way they did. In my opinion had Shylock not insisted on the pound of flesh he would have recieved at least his principle. Its complicated for me, I still really feel for the plight of Shylock in this story. I see it as a look into how oppression and mistreatment can turn people into spiteful "villians". Theres more to say and think about with this, Im going to watch your video on Portia now.
I love this... I'd love to hear your analysis on Portia!
Loved the thumbnail ❤
Could you explain the 'he hates our sacred nation' quote please
Antonio hates the Jewish tribe
Hi just wondering can I use this for Gcse Aqa literature?
Yes, the quotes can be applied to any exam board.
is this shakespearian
Yeah
If I don't steal it (the house of a Palestinian woman) other will steal it.
You missed the bigger picture there. Shakespeare’s point here is that all humans have the same human nature. You took that quote and used it to claim that Jews essentially behave with a completely separate human nature. I’m neither Jew nor Arab. Do you see me as someone who doesn’t have the same human nature as you? If so, then why do you place any importance on what Shakespeare says about human nature? Surely you would have the same disconnect with Shakespeare that you have with me.
Portia and other Christian characters are no less cruel and vindictive than Shylock...........
Arguably they are MORE vindictive. They victimise Shylock in the first place..
