What can this play from 16th-century England tell us about how antisemitism and other prejudicial beliefs operate in our world today? What perceived truths does a play reveal about the society in which it was created, and what ideas within that society does it reinforce?
“The Merchant of Venice (Annotated), or In Sooth I Know Not Why I Am So Sad” brings together elements of William Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” with Elizabethan history and news from the 21st century, taking a kaleidoscopic view of the ways in which members of a society displace their fears on the “other” during times of upheaval.
