moments when Shakespeare gives Shylock speeches which show his humanity. In these moments‚ although at the time it was written there was little tolerance of Jews‚ the audience is made to feel sorry for him. Shakespeare has created a character that the audience’s feelings will change for by the minute. When the play was written the audience would have immediately disliked Shylock on the basis of his religion and occupation‚ however nowadays when religious prejudice is not nearly as strong we still find

"To be or not to be "- that is Hamlet’s dilemma. To be or not to be a revenge hero‚ to kill or not to kill? Shakespeare uses soliloquies to show Hamlet’s feelings‚ and his thoughts‚ to show how he changes his mind during four of his soliloquies.
