The merchant of venice is anti-semetic in many ways. One of these ways is when shylocks daughter runs away with lorenzo and his ducets, we know this because shylocks says ” my daughter! Omy ducets o my daughter!” This show us that shylock cares more about his money than his daughter. This links to shakespeare making his charector of shylock anti-semetic as jews were known to be good with money and cared alot about money so therefore this is anti-semetic. This stereotype came from venice when jews were only money lenderers.
