âWe do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvertâ. - J Robert Oppenheimer.

Such a marvellous play, that was. Anti semitism at it’s best. And No, I don’t think Shakespeare despised Jews. Quite the opposite in fact.
I once played Shylock and you need to get into the grit of it to understand The Play, which most people don’t bother to do.
Anti Semitism is so ingrained into society that ordinary people don’t even realise what they actually do or think.
After thousands of years and The Holocaust my feelings are a lost fight. But I will go on fighting. And I’m not sorry if I have offended anyone.

‘The Merchant of Venice’ was the first Shakespeare play I studied at school. I remember well reciting Shylock’s ‘what is a Jew’ speech – that and the soliloquies in ‘MacBeth’ – on the way home from school…
I saw a really fantastic RSC production of The Merchant of Venice at The Barbican in the 90s, where it was set in the 1980s with high-flyer City types. It was just superb.
I think I’ll watch the film again this weekend đ

I never have gone for the modern day depiction. That is just the idea of what Shakespeare meant. As if they could possibly know.

I dunno, it worked pretty well. I think it proves that Shakespeare is timeless.

When you have no idea of how he felt? So what is wrong with the real thing. His words?
It is an insult to put his words into modern day language. Are we completely incapable?

The language wasn’t changed; It was only the sets and costumes that reflected 1980s city traders.

Ditto to your comment about anti semitism and the Holocaust. I don’t think the world even now is prepared to look into the gross nature of the Holocaust.
