I believe that the merchant of Venice is anti-semetic. The first scene we see Christians tossing Jews of a bridge and being spat on. The Christians call them discriminating names. Onward in the play Shylock’s daughter, Jessica, runs away with his money. Shylock then morns this but cares more about his money than his own daughter. This shows the stereo type that Jews are good with money.

Adriel,
This is more like a first paragraph than it is an introduction. In your introduction, you need to say the following things:
– definition of antisemitism
– examples of antisemitism in Venice in 1596
– how you are going to answer the question
Please make these changes
