The Syllabus
- Discover sixteenth-century Venice, the commercial hub whose multicultural landscape gives shape to the play
- Analyze Shylock, the Jewish merchant: his moral ambivalence, his isolation from and connections to the other characters, and his troubling conversion
- Situate the play in a long history of artistic representations of Jews in the West, with attention to the problem of anti-Semitism
- Learn how the play, called a “comedy,” incorporates tragic elements that may prompt audiences to identify with Shylock despite his outsider status
- Weigh different responses to Shylock over four centuries through the study of artifacts and interviews with authors, actors, and curators
