Phil Volkert-1 Shylock's speech was more of a rant of how Christians and Jews are the same. They are equal but the Christians think they are better than the Jews. If you hurt them they feel the pain. They do not have different hands or organs. They are the same equal human being. Jews and Christians are the same and are equal. I totally agree with what Shylock says.
Shylock's speech showed us how he feels about Antonio's disrespect towards him. Shylock compares a Christian and a Jew in his speech. He shows us how both are the same, and just because Shylock is a Jew does not give Antonio the right to disrespect him. This problem still occurs in everyday life, whether it is racial discrimination or bullying others because of their disabilities. I definitely agree with Shylock's statement in his speech.
In his speech Shylock explains that Jews and Christians are equal and complains about how Antonio has treated him. He says that just because he is a Jew, Antonio disrespects him. He wants revenge on Antonio for the way he has treated him and he is not afraid to kill him.
Shylock's speech was a strong statement comparing Jews to Christians. He claimed that they are equal with different beliefs. He is true when he says Jews are treated unfairly just because their religion seems strange and different. He mentions that Jews feel pain, just like Christians do. I agree with Shylock's idea that he shouldn't be treated unfairly just because he is Jewish.
Shylock's speech was powerful because it expressed his desire to be equal. He believes that Jews and Christians should be treated equally because they are both humans. He exclaims at the end that he wants justice for being ridiculed by every Christian, and he will go to the extent of the bond in order to receive that justice. In my opinion this speech made it easier to understand why he wants to enforce the bond upon Antonio.
Shylock's speech, as many others have said, has a valid argument. Jews and Christians are equal, just as any humans are. However, many times in the Bible it is written that we should not take revenge, rather we should be forgiving. In the Torah, revenge is also outlawed. Even though the dislike between Jews and Christians is great, there is a lot of common ground between them. In addition, most of the characters in the play stress religion while they don't follow the laws of it. Of course, if they did the play would not be nearly as interesting.
Declan Byrne - 5 I think that Shylock was voicing the opinions of most, if not all, of the Jews in Venice in his times. At the time that Shakespeare wrote the Merchant of Venice, a speech like Shylock's would have been very controversial and surprising to the audience, grabbing their attention extremely well. I like to think that in this scene Shakespeare was voicing his own opinions and using the play as a channel for what he believed, or he could just have been making the play controversial to attract more attention.
I agree with Niko. Shylock's speech proves a point: Jews and Christians have different beliefs, but are both human. He provides examples such as bleeding when pricked or laughing when tickled. Although these examples are true, revenge should never be an option. You should love your enemy as yourself. Shylock was also releasing built up anger after his daughter left him for Lorenzo. Shakespeare was ahead of his time realizing that although they have different core beliefs, they are just as human as any of us.
Shylock does have a relevant argument. However, as Niko said, it is wrong from a religious standpoint. Although I am not Christian, Islam has the same belief in that revenge is wrong. While Shylock and Antonio have different beliefs as Christianity and Judaism are different religions, revenge is strictly forbidden as it is conventional to be "the bigger man" and forgive in our society. While Shylock has a valid argument, it just does not seem to be the "right" thing to do. I would disagree with Shylock on this point, no matter how hard it is to forgive and forget.
Danny McKenna - 1 Shylock's speech was a fair argument to make until he talked about revenge. Antonio is Christian and Shylock is Jewish but that does not make it right for Shylock to talk about violence towards Antonio as payback. Shylock should feel somewhat bad for Antonio and help him in his tough time instead of talking badly about him. I do not agree with Shylock.
I think Shylock is completely correct in what he is saying. Jews are being spit on and kicked around while Christians are not being touched. Why would a Jew be any different than any other human on the earth? They both have feeling, the same body parts being harmed and the same struggles in life. Just because someone does not believe in the same stuff that you do does not mean they should get treated like this. Shylock should get some recompense somehow but I do think that taking a pound of Antonio's flesh is going too far. I completely agree with what Shylock is saying here.
I agree with how Shylock feels and almost feel empathy for him. If I was in the same situation as Shylock and was always disrespected because of what I believe then I would want to show as many people as possible that everyone is equal. This is what Shylock attempts to do but he does end up going a little too far and seeks revenge instead of respectfully voicing his opinion.
Josh Mapalo-1 I agree with Shylock as other people have said because why should someone be mistreated for their faith? Jews and Christians have the same body, feel the same emotions, and face the same obstacles in life. You may not believe in the same faith as someone else but you should respect their beliefs and in return have them respect yours. But Shylock goes too far and wants a pound of Antonio's flesh. I think money should be adequate and especially if he gets paid double it should clear up all the problems between them.
Sai Nagisetty-5 I also agree with Shylock but only to a certain extent. Christians and Jews are identical in most aspects in life such as pain, emotion and needs. The only thing different between them is their faith and beliefs. Where I disagree with Shylock is where he says that since Christians seek revenge on people that it is okay for him to seek revenge on Antonio by killing him. This takes it way too far and it is not okay for Shylock to kill over something like this. If he gets offered double his money back, it is not okay for him to take somebody's life over that.
Zach Schumacher - 1 In Shylock's famous speech on how Jews and Christians are alike, Shylock expresses his frustration with society because himself with all the other Jews are casted out of society and seen as only Jews not human beings that believe in Judaism. Shylock makes this argument with telling everyone that if he is hurt, he will bleed, just like all the Christians. Shylock goes onto explain that Jews are humans too and feel the same things Christians do. I have to agree with Shylock because it is unfair that people are treated differently based on their religious views. At that time, being Christian was a way to be accepted into society. If you were not Christian, you unalienable rights for all people including the right to worship who you want, where you want, and when you want. The result Shylock is trying to express is that is not a reason to be persecuted.
Grant Grosskopf - 5 I agree and disagree with Shylocks speech mostly because it does not seem right to mistreat someone just because of what they believe in. Jews and Christians alike face the same problems everyday no matter what they believe in. I disagree because I do not think that Shylock should take a pound of flesh of Antonio because he did not pay the debt. It was not his fault that his ship sunk and Shylocks does not need the money right away. I understand his frustration but he will get the money in time and in double the fee.
Like Grant, I agree and disagree with what Shylock said in his speech. Shylock has been mistreated by Antonio and he probably should be punished for it, but insisting on killing Antonio just to get revenge is not right. Jewish law does not promote this action, even though he has been disrespected in many different ways. I believe Shylock should be a bigger man and follow what his religion tells him to do, not his vengeful heart.
I agree with Nick here because Christians and Jews are both human beings, just with different beliefs. Shylock gives great examples in his speech and I don't think he should still be seeking revenge. I believe he used this as a way to vent out his frustrations from Jessica running away with a Christian and stealing his money as well.
Zach Sekaran - 6 While I agree with Shylock on the equality of Christians and Jews, I do not agree with Shylock when he says "If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge! The villainy you teach me I will execute—and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction" (Shakespeare 3.1.68-72). While it is easy to say that Shylock should turn the other cheek, revenge is too human. Shylock should not, however, take someone's life because of his desire for revenge. The desire for vengeance has corrupted Shylock's morals regarding human life.
Jackson Minessale 6 Although commonly regarded as a nasty character,Shylock delivers a beautiful speech in 3.1. Shylock is worked up about being hated for his religion and angrily talks about how Jews and Christians are equal and are both people. Most people think of Shylock as evil right away, and in this play, he is portrayed as an antagonist. However I like to ask myself how different of a character Shylock would be if everyone just saw people as people, instead of putting people down for their beliefs. Perhaps he would have been a much less tense, maybe even kid character.
Alex Sands - 5 Shylock's speech was strong in comparing Jews to Christians. He claimed that they are equal as humans but with different beliefs. He is correct when he states Jews are treated unfairly because some find their beliefs different and strange. He says that Jews feel hurt, just like Christians do from things like this. So I agree with Shylock when he says that he thinks he should be treated better or not badly just because of his religion.
Enzo Demichele-1 In his speech, Shylock commented on unequal treatment to a human level. A lot of his argument is prevalent today. His comparison is just although I don't agree with his thoughts on revenge. For Christians, revenge is frowned upon. If a Jew would wrong a Christian, the Christian's principles tell him to not seek revenge. Therefore,Shylock can't say that he is the same as Christians in his quest for revenge.
Luis Rojo-22 In his speech, Shylock talks about differences and similarities between Jews and Christians. He asks a lot of questions to prove that there are a lot of similarities between Christians and Jews. This shows that Shylock is curious yet mad that Christians are treated better even though Jews are very similar to them.
In his speech, Shylock says that Christians and Jews are similar in the fact that they are human. They are both fed by the same food, subject to the same diseases, and such. Shylock says that if he is wronged, as he feels he has been, he will have revenge, just as a Christian would.
Maxwell Dixon - 5 In Shylock's speech, He just wants to get the point across that Jews and Christians are the same. They are all human, and people should respect the Jews for who they are. They both breathe, eat, laugh, die, cry, and do everything that a Christian can do. Shylock may be seen as a monster and the antagonist of the story, but he shows human moments so far. He is just trying to say that even if Jews and Christians have different viewpoints, they shouldn't treat them like dogs. I think that it is rather human-like to stand up for what he thinks is right.
Shylock is not a good guy in the play, but his famous speech does not reflect his evil nature. It actually makes a lot of sense in modern society. The speech demands respect for Jews. It enforces the idea that Jews are the same as Christians and they deserve as much as them. It also enforces the humanity of Jews and that they will react to things the same as Christians.
Danny Wisniewski-6 During Shylock's rant he rambles of how Christians and Jewish people are similar than most people think. Sure they have the same God, but he means a greater connection. He states that they should not be separated, and one should not have privileges that the other does not. Also Shylock does not sound like a rotten capybara, but more like a humble person.
Will Steinhafel- 6 Shylock in his speech uses compelling analogies to compare Christians and Jews. He points out that Jews are just as human as Christians, but they are not treated the same. Though I agree that people of any faith deserve equal rights, I do not think Shylock should be spiteful in his revenge against Antonio.
Brett Walsh-1 Schlock's speech was arguing that Christians and Jews are equal just like all humans are equal. Antonio has verbally abused Shylock by making fun of him and taunting him for being a Jew. If he claims that Christians and Jews are alike then since for Christians revenge is against the Bible so it would also be the same for Jews then. Shylock is almost contradicting himself in the sense that he is wanting revenge and claiming that Jews and Christians are alike. Shylock's speech is still very compelling and thoughtful even though in my mind he is contradicting himself.
Charlie Gutierrez- 6 In Shylock's speech, he tries to explain that Jews are human just as Christians are, that they are the same and the only difference in them is different religious beliefs. Despite different beliefs from Jews, I do not think of them or any other religion lower or higher than Christians.
Joe Somers-5 I believe that the speech delivered by Shylock contradicts how he actually acts in the play. Throughout his speech, Shylock was entirely basing his treatment on the fact that he is a Jew. I think that the reason Shylock is treated so horribly has nothing to do with that at all but the fact that his is just a rotten person. The way he acts causes for other people to not like Shylock and to even think that he is a villain of sorts. In conclusion, I believe that Shylock's speech was irrelevant to the personality of Shylock exhibited in the play.
Manuel Macias - 1 Shylocks famous speech is indeed true that both Jews and Christians are the same. But with his first couple of sentences he has already made his point clear, but he decides to rant on to try to make it sound like the Jews are better than the Christians. I have no obligation towards his words because that is how he feels.
Shylocks famous speech is very strong and focuses on the mistreatment of the Jews. Shylocks emphasis is on the point that Jews and Christians are almost identical, other than their moral beliefs. He says that they are the same people, feel the same pain, and eat the same food, and should not be treated like the way Christians have been treating them. I agree with Shylock on that statement, I do not believe Christians are higher or lower than Jews, or any other faith. For these reason I think Shylock was very just to stand up for himself. -Joe Doering
Shylock's famous speech revolves around how bad jews are treated compared to Christians. Shylock says that he is basically the same as any christian man and his speech ends with him saying that since people treat him badly, it then teaches him revenge and Shylock is determined to get it soon. -Dylan Bonk
