Learning to Curse: Essays in Early Modern CultureRoutledge, 1990 - 188 pagini In the essay on pp. 40-58, "Marlowe, Marx, and Anti-Semitism, " proposes a comparative reading of Marlowe's "The Jew of Malta" and Marx's essay "On the Jewish Question." Both works use the stereotype of the perfidious Jew, showing a link between the Renaissance and modern thought. The Jew, linked in the popular imagination with usury or cunning, is depicted by these writers as paradoxically alien and a distilled representative of a society obsessed with the power of money. This contrasts with Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice, " which presents the Jew as an outsider. Argues that Marlowe has a buried identification with the Jewish protagonist Barabas (e.g. both scorn society and have no hope for its future). Marx, however, maintained hope for a better society. |
