The study aims at exploring the causes and realities of the rising voice of Shylock in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice by way of connecting his voices to the strength, identity, and ideology within the drama. The purposes of this study are to represent the relationship between Jew and Christian in 16th century England, to explore the problems especially the Jewish community faced and to examine the poetic Justice Shakespeare did in The Merchant of Venice. The research is conducted considering qualitative approach and the data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. The findings suggest that oppression, social inequality, negligence and frequent maltreatment were the causes of Shylock’s rising voice. It also shows that the relations between Christian and Jew were hostile during 16th century England and the writer, William Shakespeare could not show proper poetic justice in his drama, The Merchant of Venice.
