(1) 유대인
Shy. He hates our sacred nation, and he rails
Even there where merchants most do congregate
On me, my bargains, and my well-won thrift,
Which he calls interest. (1.3.48-51)

(2) 무자비하고 교활한 인물
“On what compulsion must I?”(4.1.183)

(3) 배금주의자
Sol. I never heard a passion so confus'd
So strange, outrageous, and so variable
As the dog Jew did utter in the streets.
"My daughter! O my ducats! O my daughter!
Fled with a Christian! O my Christian ducats!
Justice! the law! my ducats, and my daughter!
A sealed bag, two sealed bags of ducats,
Of double ducats, stol'n freom me by my daughter!(2.8.12-19)
