Anti-Semitism In A Christmas Play

87 Words1 Pages
This joking is somewhat friendly and not blatantly hateful, unlike the anti-Semitism found in the Passion Play. Over all, relations between the two groups in the Christmas Play are disagreeable, but not hostile. This adds a lightness and friendlier tone to the play, keeping in theme with the birth of baby Jesus and Mary’s lack of sinfulness. The playwright is able to highlight the historically bad relations between the Jews and the Christians while also keeping the play centered on happiness and the birth of Jesus Christ.
