The main conflict of The Merchant of Venice is one between a Jew, Shylock and a Christian Antonio. This conflict ends in a triumph of Antonio and a defeat of a Jew Shylock. Shylock is deprived of his daughter, money and even his religious identity because he is turned out to be one who tries to kill an innocent Christian Antonio. Because of the tragedy of Shylock, an argument in defining this drama as a comedy has been consistent, which is different from a traditional comedy even though it ends in happy marriages of three couples of lovers.
In some criticisms, Shakespeare has been criticized as a defender of anti-Judaism or as a defender of anti-Christianism. That is because in the drama Shylock is presented as a sort of devil who seeks to kill a Christian, Antonio who transgressed against his bond with the Jew, and at the same time the Christian Antonio is depicted as a merciless person who scorned Jews and their commercial activities in Venice. Shakespeare provides Shylock with enough reason to have a desire to revenge against the Christians. Meanwhile Shakespeare also presents Antonio as a Christ figure who shows self-less love towards his friend to extent that he risks his life to have his friend get married to a beautiful wealthy woman. In one aspect Shakespeare shows anti-Judaism through the villain Shylock and an good Christian Antonio, however, in other respect he shows anti-Christianity through presenting the egoist Christian Bassanio, Antonio and Portia.
This essay focused on the ambivalent aspects of two sides and discussed Shakespeare's attempt of destroying boundaries of good and evil in this drama. Consequently, from an objective viewpoint there is no absolute good and absolute evil. As shown in the dialogue between Bassanio and Portia in the last scene of the drama, while they are talking about the viewpoint of day and night, according to the place where they are now, the day and the night is oppositely determined.
Judgement results in the way of distinguish things according to viewer's stance and his environment and that is the way dualism may have conflicts.
Shakespeare shows his extraordinary insight through which he demolishes the boundaries between Judaism and Christianism and good and evil. Ultimately he suggests that overcoming the dualism may be the wisest way to overcome the tragedy of life.
