More about the book
Exploring themes of religious hypocrisy, the play critiques Judaism, Islam, and Christianity alike, reflecting the complex attitudes of its time. Written during Marlowe's peak, it gained popularity until the closure of theaters in 1642. The work has sparked ongoing debates about its portrayal of antisemitism, drawing parallels with Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, which is thought to be influenced by Marlowe's portrayal of these themes.
