Was the Prince of Morocco in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice a Muslim? His faith is never overtly referenced, but Portia judges him poorly based on his "complexion," a term that refers to skin colour and temperament. Does temperament = religion in this play? #shakerace

Sorry to intrude: In Shakespeare's England, "race" hadn't shed its older ties to language, religion, and class, which is why it's important to attend to how these get played as racial markers in MOV just as much as "color."

Not an intrusion and absolutely necessary reminder.
