Hi, I'm a South Korean student attending to Daeshin Middle School. While I was doing a research about <The Merchant of Venice> for my reading club presentation, I wondered if Shakespeare was antisemitic. Was it sympathy or discrimination that made Shakespeare to make Shylock's speach that way? I sent e-mails to many honored Korean professors and even to the Harvard professors whom I thought could give an answer to my question, but all of them only told me what to research on, not their opinions. So, I just wanted to know your opinions about my question above. Thanks for reading although my English is not good enough, and I'll be waiting for your answers.
