Consider the title character of (the Merchant of Venice) the dishonest businessman Shylock. He is a stereotyped ( I am the Loan Shark) character and seems to have six points to the star- he is cast as a Jewish man. One mignt add the villainous bad-guy Fagin created by Charles Dickens- centuries after Shakespeare. o- it"s on the stage... not a good excuse.

What was the era of shakespeare called?
The Shakespearean Era, I suppose, although you don't hear that very often. Maybe we should use it more. It's more common to hear the "era" defined by the name of the monarch reigning in England at the time. Unfortunately Shakespeare lived in both the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (The Elizabethan Era) and the reign of King James I (The Jacobean Era).
What was the name of the historical era when Shakespeare lived?
Shakespeare's life overlapped the reigns of two English monarchs, and so he lived in both the Elizabethan Era (named for Queen Elizabeth I) and the Jacobean Era (named for King James I). Elizabeth was the last Tudor monarch so he lived in the Tudor Era, and James was the first Stuart monarch so he also lived in the Stuart Era. The time in which he lived is also sometimes called the English Renaissance. And of course Shakespeare himself is such a prominent figure that his times might be called the Shakespearean Era.
