Prejudice In Hate U Give And The Merchant Of Venice

What is Prejudice? It’s someone who has a hostile attitude towards a group or individual because they are part of a specific religion, race, or nationality. Prejudice is shown in some of the characters in William Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice and Angie Thomas's The Hate U Give. Prejudice is shown in these plays and novels because of their Religion and Race. In The Merchant of Venice, prejudice is shown when Portia reveals that she doesn’t like Morocco because of his skin colour, and in The Hate U Give, prejudice is shown when society uses stereotypes of Black people to justify violence and racism against them.

That post on those four little girls who were killed in that church. The stuff about that Marcus Garvey guy. The one about those Black Panthers who were shot by the government." They are similar because Morrocco was offended by Portia's comment about his complexion because people see his skin as negative, and in The Hate U Give, Hailey unfollowed Starr because of all the "Black stuff" that was on her page. They are similar because Portia didn’t like Morocco because of his skin, and Hailey didn’t like how there was "black stuff" on her page just because they were black. In summary, they are similar because people judged them because they were black. Revenge. "Never did I know A creature that did bear the shape of man So keen and greedy to confound a man. He plies the duke at morning and at night, and doth impeach the freedom of the state If they deny him justice. Twenty merchants, the duke himself, and the magnificoes of greatest port have all persuaded with him. But none can drive him from the envious plea of forfeiture, of justice, and his bond."

What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those
