Jessica is the daughter of Shylock, a Jewish moneylender, in William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (c. 1598). In the play, she elopes with Lorenzo, a penniless Christian, and a chest of her father's money, eventually ending up in Portia and Bassanio's household. In the play's dramatic structure, Jessica is a minor but pivotal role. Her actions motivate Shylock's vengeful insistence on his "pound of flesh" from Antonio; her relationships with Lorenzo and Shylock serves as a mirror and contrast to Portia's with Bassanio and with her father; her conversion to Christianity is the end of Shylock's line's adherence to the Jewish faith.

  • Jessica é filha de Shylock, um agiota judeu, em O Mercador de Veneza, de William Shakespeare (c. 1598). Na peça, ela foge com Lorenzo, um cristão sem dinheiro, e parte da fortuna de seu pai, acabando na casa de Portia e Bassanio. Na estrutura dramática da peça, Jessica é um papel menor, mas fundamental. Suas ações motivam a insistência vingativa de Shylock contra Antonio; suas relações com Lorenzo e Shylock servem como espelho e contraste com as de Portia com Bassânio e com seu pai; sua conversão ao cristianismo é o fim da adesão da linhagem de Shylock à fé judaica.
