This is a rather vague question. Some of the characters, like the Duke and Portia are aristocratic. Some, like Antonio and Shylock, are merchant class--upper middle. The servants are a lower class. Personal servants like Nerissa are barely below the class of the merchants, but others like Gobbo are clearly working class types.

Shylock is in a peculiar position, being at once respectable as being monied and at the same time socially contemptible due to his religion in the eyes of the non-Jewish Venetians.
