With respect to methodology,symbolic interactionist and functionalist perspectives are used in order to illuminateoriental symbols and selected plays are analyzed in the light of the relationshipbetween eastern and western cultures. As this thesis aims to investigate the orientalsymbols in two of the Shakespeare's plays from the Renaissance, the study seeks toanswer what the oriental symbols in Othello and The Merchant of Venice are, howhidden messages of the oriental symbols mirror the oriental culture and how theseworks of art deal with the concept of colonialism through symbols.
