- What does the Duke believe Shylock intends to do? (Black Pg. 147, Blue Pg.85) All of Venice thinks that he should let Antonio go along with the duke also thinking that he should be free from Shylock.
- What does Shylock intend to do?
- get his flesh because he thinks of it as a hobby, something he likes
- Finish this quote that tells us why, ‘You’ll ask me why I rather choose to have a weight of carrion flesh, than to receive three thousand ducats. I’ll not answer that, but to say it is my humour, is it answered?’ (Black Pg. 149, Blue Pg.86) What two loopholes does Portia find in the wording of the contract?
- No more and no less than an exact pound of flesh from Antonio.
- Shylock now has to pay penalties. Complete this quotes that tell us what the penalties are: ‘I pardon thee thy life before thou ask it, For half thy wealth, it is Antonio, the other half comes to the general state’ (Black Pg. 169, Blue Pg.97)
- Are the penalties fair? Why/why not. No because he is losing everything
- No because he lost everything he posses and converting his religion
- which it is taking it way too fair
- How did Lorenz and Jessica gain by result? He gets half of what Shylock has when he pass away.
- What reward has Portia claimed and why is this significant?
- Bassanio's ring
- Portia tells Shylock ‘The quality of mercy is not strained’.
- She is showing mercy because she is not that much of a bad person
- and thus showing Shylock mercy.
- How does she try to persuade Shylock to show mercy,
- how much mercy is she willing to show him
- By giving him more options which shows us how much mercy she is
- willing to give to Shylock
- ((Black Pg. 157-159, Blue Pg.91-92)
