Shylock is pictured in the Merchant of Venice as a very rich Jew who lends money at an excessive rate of liinterest. He is very indignant with Antonio because Antonio lends out money, charging no interest. Shylock's business in hurt by this habit of Antonio. Shylock is a very greeny, selfish person. Hie has no friends except Tubal, who is also a rich Jew. Shylock's only interests are his daughter and hrs money. He loves his daughter, Jessica, very dearly, but he loves hts money more. Thiils trait in him is shown in the scene after Jessica has sun away with Lorenzo. He goes about, crying. "My ducats." He is a shrewd, sly, cunning person; (but he is a coward at heart, as Is shown by "he way he acted when he left the courtroom. He is a typical Jew in the eyes of the Elizabethans, only worse than most Jews. II. Shylock, as portrayed in the Merchant of Venice, is a cruel, merciless moneylender. He even treats his servant and his own daughter harshly. "When he has forced Jessica to elope, he says he wishes that she were dead at Ms feet with his money rather than alive havffing spending it.

When he makes up his mind to do something, he is very determined and can not be changed. Wfc do feel sorry for Shylock when Antonio says "I am as liitoe: to call thee so (dog) again, "To spit on thee again, to spurn thee too." Again, when Shylock leaves the court, a broken man. we are likely to feel sorry for him. But since he has denied Antonio's pleas for mercy, he really gets what he deserves, when Portia makes his villiany evident at the court Shylock shows himself to be so mean and merciless that he is not liked or trusted.
