The Mandelbaum Family Lecture Series Presents: Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice, a Great Play Despite its Villain

Wednesday, May 21, 2025 | 10:30 AM
WINN ROOM | Coronado Public Library
640 Orange Avenue, Coronado, CA 92118

Dr. Gideon Rappaport argues that while Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice features the problematic character Shylock, the play itself isn't to blame. Despite its semi-anti-Semitic themes, it holds universal value. However, it should not be performed in places where anti-Semitism persists, as its portrayal of Shylock remains offensive and dangerous.
