Shylock is a moneylender.
The Merchant of Venice was Shylock's victim.
Collecting interest on loans is not a mercantile trade. Like sodomy, it goes against nature.
Where "interest" means money lending it is usury. The change of name does not change the act.
Where interest means a financial stake in an enterprise with all the risks involved shared between parties, it is not usury. Not moneylending.
