Default Re: Merchant of Venice, the movie

Ok now for the Dreyfus rebuttal.

While he was obviously wrongly convicted, most likely because he was a jew, the issues had begun to surface.

Lieutenant Colonel Georges Picquart, an unapologetic anti-Semite, discovered the error the french army made and attempted to rectify it, even though as an anti-semite he should have just let the case lie.

Dreyfus was also eventually pardoned and exonerated, even though he was a jew, because the laws of the day prevailed eventually, not the religious undertones of the case.
