PAGE PAGE 14 - - Abstract: Shylock is one of the most controversial figures created by William Shakespeare in the Merchant of Venice. For the past 300 years or more, anyone who has been an audience or a reader of Shakespeare’s the Merchant of Venice could not deny that the titular and protagonist Antonio and the antagonist shylock differ greatly in their religious belies, values and attitudes toward money and frendship. Their difference as best manifested in the pound of flesh bond is the dominant one that unifies the drama , thrilla the audience and readers and reveals the implied victory of Christianity over Judaism. Whether shylock is a comic villain or a tragic hero heated discussion among Shakespearean critics. We all know , Shylock, one of Shakespeares most complicated and least sympathetic characters--the guy who wants the pound of flesh for an unpaid debt.. So, we can say, Shylock is the most vivid and memorable character in the Merchant of Venice, and he is one of Shakespeares greatest dramatic creations. There are so many debates about Shylock, including his character, religion and so on . In my article, I do not simply classify him as comic or tragic figure. I interpret Shylock from three perspectives and then draw a conclusion——Shylock is a multi - dimensional character and Shakespeare reveals to us how the social factors and Shylock’s personality result in his tragic life. Key words: Shylock, Jew, usuver , individual, religious 摘 要: 在莎士比亚创造的威尼斯商人中，夏洛克是具有争议的人物。在过去的300 年或更远的时间里, 任何观众或莎士比亚的读者都不能否认安东尼奥 和对立者夏洛克他们在宗教、金钱的价值和态度上有很大的区别，剧中以一磅肉为焦点。观众和读者都认为基督战胜犹太教。夏洛克是一个可笑的恶棍或一个悲剧的英雄成为评论家讨论的热点。大家都知道,在莎士比亚笔下的夏洛克是一个想要以一磅肉作为债物的最复杂和最缺少同情心的人。而且我们也能说夏洛克的人物形象是最生动和最难忘的, 并且他是莎士比亚的巨作当中的一个。关于夏洛克有很多不同的评论,包括他的个性特征,宗教信仰等等. 在这篇论文里面, 我不单只分析他作为可笑、悲剧的一面,并且还更进一步透视然后得出结论。分析莎士比亚笔下的夏洛克所处的社会因素和个性导致他悲剧的生活。 关键词: 夏洛克, 犹太民族,高利贷,个性,宗教 Contents Abstract ………………………………………………………………………i Contents……………………………………………………………………iii Introduction …………………………………………………………………1 1.
