>Shakespeare did point out correctly in Merchant of Venice that the greatest torment you can inflict upon a Jew is forcing him to actually assimilate and act like a functional member of society instead of a disgusting parasite leeching off of its most vulnerable members.

That character is actually hated by the Jews. The least thing they want to see is one of their own getting cucked.

Shylock's tormet at being btfo is beside the point. The triumph of Christian mercy is infinitely more important.

>Isiah 45:8
“Shower, O heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain down righteousness; let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit; let the earth cause them both to sprout; I the LORD have created it.

>Portia, in William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act 4, Scene 1
The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The thronèd monarch better than his crown.
His scepter shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptered sway.
It is enthronèd in the hearts of kings;
It is an attribute to God Himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this:
That in the course of justice none of us
Should see salvation. We do pray for mercy,
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much
To mitigate the justice of thy plea,
Which, if thou follow, this strict court of Venice
Must needs give sentence 'gainst the merchant there.

The point of the story is that bitches get stitches
The entire reason antonio was in that situation with shylock was because he was being a cunt for no reason
The reason shylock got cucked in the end is because he lived his entire life as a hypocritical resentment filled cunt
If either of them lived life like antonio and gratiano, living life kindly and paying their debts, things wouldn't have gone so bad
Also antonio was filled with homolust for bassanio, that's why he was sad at the start of the play
