It also reflects the contradiction between the commercial bourgeoisie and the loan sharks in the early stage of capitalism, and expresses the author's humanistic thoughts on issues such as money, law and religion in bourgeois society. An important literary achievement of this play is to create the typical image of Shylock, a profit-seeking, ruthless loan shark.
