Shakespeare's view on Jews through repetition

​Through the repetition and use of the word “two” Shakespeare demonstrates his anti-Semitic view on Shylock by emasculating him.  Solanio first uses the word “two” in order to describe Shylocks financial loss by losing his daughter to a Christian “two sealéd bags of ducats/Of double ducats stol’n from me by my daughter” (153.2.8.19).  Solanio interprets this as Jessica not only taking away Shylocks money but also his manhood.  The fact that Shylocks daughter falling for a Christian man is considered emasculatory demonstrates Shakespeare’s demeaning view of Jews.   The word “two” is then used to describe stones “And jewels, two stones, two rich and precious stones/Stol’n by my daughter” (153.2.8.20).  Solanio is further debilitating Shylock by saying that a woman has the power to take away his machismo.  Shakespeare has Solanio make this erotic pun to further the point that he believes Jews are of lower class.  Shakespeare uses the word “two” to serve as a means to enervate and debilitate Shylock in a bawdy and, humorous manner.
