초록
Jessica violates and ignores patriarchic orders which have been the important cultural discourse for the Western social stability, but she is never punished in The Merchant of Venice. She steals her father Shylock’s money and jewels and runs away to marry Lorenzo, a Venetian Christian. Ironically, she enjoys the happy ending getting blessed by everybody except Shylock. She escapes from Shylock’s patriarchal reign through her conversion to Christianity, and she gets protected not by Jewish rules, but by the new Christian patriarchism she has chosen according to the Venetian Christian laws. Through the Antonio-Shylock judgement, her marriage with Lorenzo becomes socially confirmed. In fact, Shylock’s patriarchal authority on Jessica is replaced with the sentence of the trial. Shylock loses his every right on his daughter and properties in the Venetian court. Moreover, the judgement sentences him to convert to Christianity. All the sentences against him are of punishment, so the order of conversion is also a penalty against him as well as damnation against Judaism. According to the court order, Shylock will convert to Christianity, but he, like Dr. Roderigo Lopez the Queen’s physician, can be a convenient scapegoat anytime when the Christian society needs someone to blame. As Venetian society perceives Jessica’s deeds righteous, it becomes a justice that the court confiscates all of Shylock’s properties. The runaway daughter Jessica’s happy ending could be an award for her conversion and negating her father and Judaism.
Abstract
Jessica violates and ignores patriarchic orders which have been the important cultural discourse for the Western social stability, but she is never punished in The Merchant of Venice. She steals her father Shylock’s money and jewels and runs away to marry Lorenzo, a Venetian Christian. Ironically, she enjoys the happy ending getting blessed by everybody except Shylock. She escapes from Shylock’s patriarchal reign through her conversion to Christianity, and she gets protected not by Jewish rules, but by the new Christian patriarchism she has chosen according to the Venetian Christian laws. Through the Antonio-Shylock judgement, her marriage with Lorenzo becomes socially confirmed. In fact, Shylock’s patriarchal authority on Jessica is replaced with the sentence of the trial. Shylock loses his every right on his daughter and properties in the Venetian court. Moreover, the judgement sentences him to convert to Christianity. All the sentences against him are of punishment, so the order of conversion is also a penalty against him as well as damnation against Judaism. According to the court order, Shylock will convert to Christianity, but he, like Dr. Roderigo Lopez the Queen’s physician, can be a convenient scapegoat anytime when the Christian society needs someone to blame. As Venetian society perceives Jessica’s deeds righteous, it becomes a justice that the court confiscates all of Shylock’s properties. The runaway daughter Jessica’s happy ending could be an award for her conversion and negating her father and Judaism.
