Shakespeare's 'Merchant Of Venice'/ Role of The 'Other'
Number of pages:
4
ABSTRACT:
A 4 page paper examining the occurrence of 'other' in Shakespeare's works. The issue is discussed using Adelman's thesis that Shakespeare's characters project their own fears onto other characters they define as 'other.' An analysis of Adleman's theory is included, followed by a discussion which addresses the separate elements that such a reality involves. Adleman's theory, while correct in some ways, is in other ways far-fetched and ridiculous. Adleman's theories are related to similar issues which appear in the Shakespeare play, 'Merchant of Venice.' No additional sources cited.
