Barabas’ role in the Jew of Malta. Christopher Marlow was born in 1564, as William Shakespeare.

The Violence of Christopher Marlowe's The Jew of Malta Christopher Marlowe's The Jew of Malta is a violent, bloody, destructive play that literally jars the senses. Part of this is due to the modern reader's background: we see the characters through modern eyes, with distinct views of "low class" and "high class." It would be easy, as such, to discount The Jew of Malta as only appealing to the base interests of its time, and it would be only slightly less easy to protest that it has

Portia in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice remained true to her religion, and her father’s wishes throughout the play. Abigail, on the other hand, changed religions and disobeyed her father.

The Maltese’s origin is unknown. Many think that the Maltese came from Malta, because of the name. Others believe their ancestors came from the Sicilian town of Melita. Evidence supports both theories. In Sicily there is a town called Melita from where many lovely white dogs called Canis Melitei were exported. During the same era, Maltese were known on the island of Malta. The Roman governor, Publius, had a Maltese companion by the name of Issa. A poet in that time, Martialis, wrote about Issa.

Often skimmed over, is the story of Paul casting out a spirit from an unnamed slave-girl found in Acts 16. When read using a feminist lens, the seemingly minor text reveals unique power differentials between the girl and the other characters.

Indeed the Acts of the Apostles, believed to be penned by Luke the Evangelist, documented the beginning of the Christian religion and its dispersion out from Jerusalem ().
