Analyse the main characters Analyse the main characters. Find sentences in the text to support your ideas. Shylock: greedy and mean cold-blooded stone-hearted vengeful(复仇心重的) crafty(狡诈的 )

Portia: smart wise kind merciful decisive brave

Antonio: generous weak sheepish kind friendly

I will take the money. Give me three times more than Antonio borrowed from me. Take my life too. My money and goods are as dear to me as life itself. They are my only comfort. When you take those away from me, you also take my life.

Why must I have mercy on him? Tell me that! I have done nothing wrong and I fear no judgment. I desire my pound of flesh. I have sworn to heaven to have my pound of flesh. I must have it.

Antonio is my enemy, and I hate him. If you offered me six times what you have just offered, I would still take my pound of flesh. Give me my pound of flesh. Why must I have mercy on him? Tell me that!

I ask for what is mine by law. Oh, wise young judge! I ask for what is mine by law. I promise. Let me go home now. I am not well. I have promised to take my pound of flesh. If you won’t let me have it, that will be a sign of weakness and no one will trust your laws anymore. The greatness of Venice will be lost.

And Shylock, take your knife and prepare to do the deed And Shylock, take your knife and prepare to do the deed. Have you brought sth. to weigh the flesh? A balance? Did you bring a surgeon, shylock, to take care of Antonio’s wounds and make sure that he doesn't bleed to death? You must cut off one pound of flesh, no more, no less. And not one drop of blood must fall.

Then Shylock must be merciful. He must have mercy on Antonio. Mercy brings good. Mercy falls like the gentle rain from the sky upon the earth. We should learn to show mercy to others. Therefore, go down on your knees and beg the Duke for mercy.

We cannot change a law. If one law is changed, then people will later want to change other laws. That is the law. You wanted justice, so you shall get justice, more than you wanted. She is a woman, but she can act as a wise judge and she manages to save Antonio.

Although Antonio’s ships are at sea and he has no money at hand, he borrows money from Shylock on the condition that if he can not pay the money back on time, Shylock will cut one pound of flesh from any part of his body. My ships are all lost at sea and now I have to pay Shylock with a pound of my flesh…how I wish to see you before I die. If your love for me is not enough to lead you here, forget about the letter.

It’s useless trying to argue with Shylock It’s useless trying to argue with Shylock. You might as well go stand upon the beach and argue with the sea. Don’t wait any longer. Pass judgment on me and give Shylock what he wants. If Shylock cuts deep enough, I’ll pay him back with all my heart.

Farewell Bassanio. Don’t be sad for me. I shall be happy to give up my part of Shylock’s money. Shylock must promise to leave the money upon his death to his daughter and her husband.
