Shylock is a fictional character in William Shakespeare's play, The Merchant of Venice. A Venetian Jewish moneylender, Shylock is the play's principal antagonist. His defeat and conversion to Christianity forms the climax of the story.
Typically played as a villain until the nineteenth century, Shylock has been increasingly portrayed as a semi-tragic figure whose vengeful acts arise from his victimisation.
"Shylock" is not a Jewish name, nor are instances of it before its use in Shakespeare's play known. However, scholars believe it probably derives from the biblical name Shalah, which is 'Shelach' (שלח) in Hebrew. Shalah is the grandson of Shem and the father of Eber, biblical progenitor of Hebrew peoples. All the names of Jewish characters in the play derive from minor figures listed in genealogies in the Book of Genesis. It is probable that Shakespeare originally intended the name to be pronounced with a short "i", as rather than a long one. The modern pronunciation has changed because the standard spelling with a "y" signifies to readers a long i pronunciation.

Beginning his career with a long run with the Royal Shakespeare Company, his first major screen roles were in BBC-broadcast television and film during the mid-late 1970s, including Hedda and the miniseries I, Claudius. In the 1980s, he began working in American television and film, with roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and its successor films; as Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men series of superhero movies; and voice roles including CIA deputy director Avery Bullock in American Dad! and narrating the film Ted and its sequel. He currently stars in the Starz TV series Blunt Talk. In 1993, TV Guide named him the best dramatic television actor of the 1980s.

Genres: Drama, Short,You talk 'bout love - But we know it isn't
true
another lie - I can read it in your eyes
It takes more than a look or innocence
to heal - The scars or romance
Here we are together
like fools we play
every night - every day
But I like it - To love you
And I hate it - When you say goodbye
But I like it - To need you
And I hate it - When you make me cry
A bed of nails and empty rooms remain
deep in our hearts - We are miles apart
Caught in a game that we play so easily
throw the dice - And I'm paying the price
Can't go on forever
but I guess it's true
I am addicted to you
But I like it - To love you
And I hate it - When you say goodbye
But I like it - To need you
And I hate it - When you make me cry
Solo
Here we are togheter
like fools we play
every night - Every day
But I like it - To love you
And I hate it - When you say goodbye
But I like it - To need you
