I didn't know where to put this...but basically I was studying for my English exam and Prejudice/Discrimination is one of the main themes of the entire course.
As I was making notes, I was writing about Portia (from The Merchant of Venice) and how she is so witty, selfless, kind, etc (even other characters call her 'saintly' and 'God given') but she is ultimately racist and therefore immediately rejects Prince Morocco who is black.
I wrote:
• Prejudice/Discrimination
Portia reveals that she is ultimately racist against black people, despite her witty and selfless character. This proves that prejudice is very irrelevant to
..And then I stopped when I realized I didn't know what it was proving.
This got me wondering...do you think prejudices are entirely separate from who we are/characters in general? I kinda dont wanna screw up my understanding
TBH I have no idea how to study for an English exam fuck
