5 THE MERCHANT OF VENICE QUOTES

6 “I hate him for he is a christian” (I.III. 34) Shakespere uses this quote to demonstrate the main theme of the play, hatred. It is said by Shylock, one of the pricipal characters in the play, refering to the other pricipal character, Antonio. The quote clearly shows the huge amount of religious intolerance that was present at that time, and how it was normal to express it.

7 An evil soul producing holy witness / Is like a villain with a smiling cheek. (I. III. 91,92) This is another of Shakespeare quotes. It is said by Antonio to Bassanio, showing how much he distrusts Shylock and how developed his hatred toward him is. He not only calls Shylock a villain, but also an “evil soul”. This two strong terms were said in the same sentence, showing once again, how perfectly common Christian hatred towards Jew, is.

8 "I am a Jew if I serve the Jew any longer” (II. III. 10,11) Lancelot Gobbo pronunces this words, to himself. They are said as if being a Jew is the worst thing that could happen to him. We cans ee how developed the religiuos hatred was that all levels of society spoke openly about it.
