... Shakespeare chose to illustrate Shylock as a Jew. According to many historians, Jews of his time were seen as the children of the Devil, the crucifiers of Christ and stubborn rejectors of God's wisdom and Christianity. However, when Shakespeare created Shylock, he did not introduce him into the play as a purely flat character, consumed only with the villainy of his plot.

... We are forced as readers to look upon this scene with the same physical blindness that Milton had. He makes it clear that we could not see it anyway. Instead we must seek inward illumination, which we all possess and need only to utilize.
