The more common interpretation that it might mean "God" is almost certainly wrong. Beckett apparently stated that if he had meant "God," he would have written "God". Godot: it is relatively common name in French

Women characters in merchant of venice
- 1. WOMEN CHARACTERS IN MERCHANT OF VENICE Are they empowered or stereotyped?
- 2. Shakespeare’s portrayal of female characters in “The Merchant of Venice” ■ Shakespeare has liberated the role of women in society playing an integral part in shaping the anti-stereotypical world for both men and women which we live in today. ■ Shakespeare represents women as powerful characters who overpower men and defy the expectations of their time ultimately positioning the audience to challenge their own understanding of women and their capabilities.
- 3. Portia ■ Quick-witted, wealthy, and beautiful, Portia embodies the virtues that are typical of Shakespeare’s heroines ■ A free spirit who abides rigidly by rules. Rather than ignoring the stipulations of her father’s will ■ In her courtroom appearance, she vigorously applies the law, but still flouts convention by appearing disguised as a man
- 4. Jessica ■ She is Shylock’s daughter. ■ Jessica abandons her father, Shylock, and her Jewish identity in order to marry Lorenzo and convert to Christianity. ■ She makes it clear that she is unhappy living with Shylock, saying things like “our house is hell” ■ Lorenzo describes Jessica as “wise, fair, and true” (II.vi.56). She reveals her intelligence and independence when she escapes her father’s house by disguising herself in male clothing and taking money and other valuables with her.
- 5. Nerissa ■ Nerissa marries Gratiano. ■ She is Portia’s woman-in-waiting. ■ She provides (gives) company to her. Portia shares her thoughts and feelings with her.She consoles her that she would finally get a husband who would truly love her. ■ Nerissa also accompanies Portia in the Duke’s court. In the ring episode also, Nerissa has an equal part to play. ■ In a way, she has been created as a foil to Portia to highlight her qualities.
- 6. empowered or stereotyped? ■ Throughout the play, ‘The Merchant ofVenice’, women are expressed as powerful characters who behave, speak and live in a way that breaks away from the conformist role of females during the 16th century. ■ Shakespeare builds his female roles to be confident and powerful, rather than sub- standard to the male equivalent. Overall, this dominant portrayal of women challenges the common Elizabethan stereotypes of gender.
- 7. ‘I am a daughter to his blood; I am not to his manners’ ~jessica~ ■ .
- 8. You would not have parted with the ring. What man is there so much unreasonable’ (Act 4, Scene 1, 202-203) ~portia~
- 9. Conclusion Feministic values are highly prominent in the playThe Merchant ofVenice, especially those including the radical feminist concept of a patriarchal society.The female characters were able to utilize the activity of cross-dressing to carry out the business they needed so that their lives might be more bearable while under the control of men within society.
