Also response of the writers adopting a particular people of their society stance towards the two villain-protagonists. All the negative adjectives and the attitude- based descriptions of the Barab as and Shylock are all part of the writers' plan of making a play for the people of their society. The similar characters, setting, and plot all suggest that Shakespeare knew what would sell and produced something that would bring him money.Money is an important thing
