AB  - Discusses Shylock's notable absence from Sigmund Freud's writings, arguing that Freud omits Shylock, "Shakespeare's Jew," because he "brings into too close a proximity a number of elements with which Freud was preoccupied . . . when he was writing 'The Theme of the Three Caskets'--the place we might most obviously have expected some mention of Shylock." Argues further that Shylock's omission "might be attributed to Freud's reluctance to limit his understanding of otherness to a particular cultural other, so that one could equally claim that the omission is strategic, an attempt to get beyond the particularities of religious, racial, or ethnic difference" usually associated with Shylock.
