When Shakespeare wrote The Merchant of Venice, he couldn't have anticipated that it would be performed and read in dozens of languages - including German, Yiddish and Hebrew. The play has become a focus for an exploration of the status of Jews through different representations of Shylock; as melodramatic villain or tragic victim.
