Religious scholar Martin Yaffe discusses the role of Shakespeare's character Shylock (from his play THE MERCHANT OF VENICE) in the history of anti-Semitism. Differing with the general consensus that Shakespeare reflected anti-Semitism of his time, Yaffe argues for the possibility that the playwright portrayed Shylock merely as a bad Jew rather than a typical one.
