For those of you familiar with Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, this popped up in a year 8 essay that I am currently marking and compelled me to do a little update:Shylock says that Antonio spat on his 'Jewish gaberdine'. This shows that Antonio is blatantly anti-septic.
It's the 'blatantly' that got me. As if Antonio were strolling along the Rialto chastising Jewish usurers in a fug of TCP.
