Shylock Character Study 1

Make a list of insults and names Shylock has been called in the text so far?
-Dog
-Usurer

Find quotes that shows Shylock's hurt, rage and his loneliness.
About when he is taking about retribution about someone [forgot his name] and why he can't do the same thing when the person did it to him.

Do you think Shylock cares about his daughter than his ducats, Why.
No because in most part of the text he is mostly relating about his loss of his money more than his daughter I think.

Shylock is powerless to get back his daughter or his ducats but Antonio is now in his power, Find the first mention of Shylock taking revenge on Antonio, Do you think his thoughts of revenge are justified.? A little bit [I think] I mean he is still more worried about his ducats?

What sentiment is Shylock trying to express here, do you find sympathy for him here?
Somewhat a little bit as he lost his daughter and he is the only one on his own

Choose one ''Hath not....''  quote and explain it.

I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes?. Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections and passion?
