Why was Shylock abandoned in Merchant of Venice?
One might also ask "By whom was Shylock abandoned?" and the most likely answer is Jessica. The answer to this is that Jessica was starved for human company. The only people she ever saw were her father and her servant Gobbo. She did not have a social life, and Shylock was not making an effort to find her a nice Jewish husband. This is not totally Shylock's fault, as Jewish custom forbade almost all social interaction between the sexes, and Jessica did not have a mother to accompany her to such functions as she might attend with other women. However, her action in becoming apostate meant that by Jewish custom she became dead to her community. She abandoned her father as completely as she would have by committing suicide.
