16.  I agree that Shylock is an evil character because he is
racist and wants to hurt people badly. In the text,
Shylock makes racist remarks to his Christian citizens
such as Antonio. He also has evil intentions for
Antonio by wanting him to die through the removal of
one pound of flesh should Antonio fail to pay back the
money. Because he is overall racist in nature and has
intentions to kill other characters, this makes Shylock
a character of pure evil and thus, I agree with such a
statement
