== Shylock as money lending Jew ==
+
+
Please do not delete the statement that Shylock is a money lending Jew. This is a neutral and accurate description. Please note that that in the words of Shakespeare himself ...<blockquote>. . . And earthly power doth then show likest God's,
+
<br />
+
When mercy seasons justice. '''Therefore, Jew''',
+
<br />
+
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
+
<br />
+
That in the course of justice none of us
+
<br />
+
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
+
<br />
+
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
+
<br />
+
The deeds of mercy.</blockquote>--[[User:AdmiralNelson|AdmiralNelson]] 09:00, 11 September 2008 (EDT)
