: : Does anyone know of a site or critical essay about Portia and her stance on anti-Semitism in Merchant of Venice? I'm familiar with the different ways anti-Semitism is related in the play and toward Shylock, but have not found information about Portia's involvment in this. Write back soon! Thanks.
: I don't know any site. Yet I don't think Portia has anything to do with anti-Semitism. Unlike the others,Portia only condemn Shylock's cruelty,not his nation. Her hospitality towards Jessica also shows that she is not anti- semitic.
