agree:

i agree that a religious upbringing brain-washes people. people tell their children that their religion is the only right religion with absolutely no regard for other religions. Most parents don’t teach there children about other religions. By this keeps children from knowing about other religions. Some parents show children the goods of other religions but they will always show the bad said to show that their religion is better. By teaching their children this at a young age they will grow up to believe that this is the only good religion. If the adult keeps teaching their child like this it will stop the child from opening up about other religions. Not only that but in an extreme case the child would start to contradict what other people believe and try to persuade them into their religion. This could cause anti social behavior and stop them from interacting with people from a different religion. In conclusion I think that a religious upbringing does not deliberately brain wash people but it is a type of brain washing and strongly influences their decision on what religion to believe.

1. I don’t think that Shylock will have a fair trial because the Duke is being friendly to Antonio , and that the law is out of his hands.
2. Umbias/impartial.  Fair   understanding
4.  Shylock is said to be incapable of emotions
5. From what we know we can tell that the judge is bias   because he hates the Jews,  he is on the side of the christian  and is trying his best to free Antonio. The judge calls Shylock incapable of pity and showing no emotion even though he is simply holding his end of the bargain.  Then he calls him an inhuman wretch, this is to show he has no feelings and is two faced. He then calls him a stony adversary. Saying Shylock is a cold heartless animal. Finishing, he said that he is void and empty from any dram of mercy. This is showing that Shylock is evil, soulless and will stop at nothing to get his revenge.

I will be answering the question “Is the Merchant of Venice an antisemitic play?” Antisemitism is discrimination towards Jews. There are many instances where antisemitism is shown in this play. The first instance we see of antisemitism is Jews getting tossed of a bridge into a canal. They are called names and are also spat on. The Jews were being abused by Christians. This is because in 1596 Jews were seen as money lenders. This goes against Christianity. I will be using Quotes form other researchers, and exploring both both of views on this.The Jews were used as scapegoats by Hitler.  He blamed them for losing the world war one and for the economic crisis Germany was going through. By blaming the Jews for all the country’s problem he breathe life into antisemitism.Hitler use propaganda saying that the Jews were rich and hoard their money while Germans were suffering in poverty which was caused by them.

I think that B is the right quote for the picture.

“…I do wonder, thou naughty jailer, that thou art so fond to come abroad with him at his request.”

In this scene Shylock reveled the truth about the justice system. Other people in the play are trying to accuse Shylock for being barbarios. This is because Shylock wants to take a pound of Antonio’s flesh. Shylock then comes back by telling Antonio that they buy slaves for them selves which is an actual living person. He then continues to tell them that slaves are treated as “asses,dogs and mules” which shows that the Christians treat slaves as an animal. Shylock also uses rhetorical questions to make his point like “What judgement shall I dread, doing no wrong?” This quote shows that Shylock has nothing to apologise for. This evidence is backed up because Shylock and Antonio made a “bond”.
