Reading and watching The Merchant of Venice was very fun and I really enjoyed the type of reading this was. When we had to the the acting of Shylock, I did have a herd time actually converting into shylock, because I did have the words and did learn the entire speech, but I still had a little bit of nervousness at the moment of actually presenting the speech. I do think it mad the learning experience much funner, and did push me out of my confort zone, which I think is very good.
What I have thoughts about is the controversy between jews and christians reacting to this book and specifically this speech, and I am very neutral but i dont think it was an antisimetic book or movie.

Great literature does not send messages! It raises questions and explores possibilities.
