Judgment, Conscience and Shylock’s Bond

  • Carlos Roberto Ludwig Universidade Federal do Tocantins

Resumo

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar parte da cena do julgamento no Mercador de Veneza de Shakespeare. Embora Portia elogie a misericórdia em seu discurso, ela não mostra misericórdia para Shylock. Portia conduz um julgamento que obriga Shylock a aceitar a decisão do Duque e Antonio em relação à sua vida, religião e dinheiro. De fato, o julgamento de Portia aponta para a lei inflexível em Veneza e no final do Renascimento, em que as escolhas de classe e étnica eram levadas em consideração em julgamentos públicos. A consciência de Portia interfere no julgamento de Shylock, sugerindo que a consciência e o julgamento são misturados de tal forma que determina todo o julgamento.
