R u trying to paint Shylock as some sort of anti-capitalist commie?Why do "White Anglo-Saxon Protestants" have nothing in the way of not just a similar ethnic lobby in Washington to the Jews but the network of ethnic organizations, donors, etc than the Jews have outside of it? Could it be that it is actually WASPs who are the ones who are "mean" and not the Jews? If you examine "The Merchant of Venice" you will find that Antonio et al are the ones obsessed about money while as for Shylock revenge holds the place in his heart where venial greed reigns for them. Shylock is one of the truly frightening characters of European literature but the reason that he is so frightening is that he is not some comic villian subhumanized by petty greed.
