I do not respect Lancelot, the servant of Shylock in The Merchant of Venice. He had no right to leave his master, Shylock the Jew, in the midst of a crisis (Shylock's daughter eloped with a Christian). Furthermore, not only did he suddenly abandon his fair master, but Lancelot immediately offered his services to Shylock's archnemises, Antonio. Maybe Lancelot was only carrying out his father's wishes, and 'honoring thy parent' is an honorable deed. But if respecting your father's wishes means disrespecting another human being, then 'honor thy father' no longer applies. It is now a matter of human decency and morals. A child should try to do as their parents please, but within reason. And there was no apparent good reason for Lancelot to do his master, who was not unkind, such a disservice and dishonor. The only reason I can come up with is antisemitism, which is not a valid reason at all.
