Maybe it would be more accurate to say that he's a "Yiddish character". A
lot of the humble people in the movie are, while the royalty in the movie
are more Christian/European. The whole schmear seems based on medeival
Eurpoean, put-upon peasants, with a heavy component of Jews/outsiders who
have to live by their wits.
But I agree, I think the basis of the character, and the style of the
legend, is very Jewish.
