Genre:what is a comedy play

Character:why were Jews treated bad

The Jews was treated bad because they had a different belief an example of this is when Antonio spat on Shylock at the beginning of the play which was terrible as Antonio ends up using him to get money for Bassanio.

The other reason Jews were treated bad in the merchant of Venice because at that time Jews were lower than Christians so Shakespeare add that in his play and this is called Historical Context.
