In this essay, the author performs a detailed analysis of the figures of Antonio and Shylock, who unfold as antagonistic forces in the Shakespearean drama. While Antonio incarnates the chivalric ideal of virtue, Shylock represents the vice of greed. Then, she focuses on the description of the characters, and particularly of Antonio, in the light of the principles of an authentic Christian life.Downloads
