Excerpt from Selected Addresses
Suffering creature, to whom the world refuses the commonest justice or consideration. Many would have liked this latter impression to have been so pronounced that there would be no doubt about it. This would have defeated the very purpose intended, apart from the fact that it would offend the canons of art to permit the moral to appear too plainly. Unless the picture of the Jew, Shylock was to represent, did in some way satisfy the prejudiced expectations, the character would have been hissed off the stage, and Shakespeare might either have been sent to The Tower or stoned to death by the savage mob of the Elizabethan age.
