Now the questions for the third scene of The Merchant Of Venice
Shylock is a moneylender. Does he seem eager to do business with Bassanio? How do you know?
Yes, he seems like he thinks he could
Which does Shylock think is safe, his business or Antonio’s? Why?
His business because he does not require ships which are likely to sink.
Why doesn’t Shylock want to dine with Bassanio and Antonio?
Because he is a jew and they think pork contains the devil.
What strict principal of his is Antonio breaking to help Bassanio?
Not charging interest
Shylock tells a bible story to prove that the taking of profit is blessed, as long as thieving is not involved. Does he convince Antonio? Give evidence.
No, Antonio said that it was something that was out of the man's control
Shylock accuses Antonio of a whole catalogue of nastiness. How does Antonio answer the charges?
Antonio says he will probably do the things again, but he also said he should lend it to an enemy rather than a friend so it is easier to exact revenge
How does Bassanio react to the proposed bond?
He is not happy about the bond.
