Merchant of Venice and Shakespearean anti-Semitism?

hi I'm 14 and doing my GCSEs we have to write an essay on whether Shylock is considered a victim or a villain in The Merchant of Venice. We need to know background information on anti-semitism in Shakespearean times and I have no idea! I also can't find anything about it on the internet. All I know is that they were racist to Jews. Help please :P
