Shylock Study #2

Shylock makes his last appearance in A4S1
How does he behave when he thinks he is winning? Shylock acts quite childish
Is his behaviour what you expected of him based on the story so far, look carefully at his one-ine answers, as well as at his longer speeches. Look too at his reply to Gratiano L 139-142. Yes Shylock is quite confident and cocky about how he is going to get the pound of flesh owed.
Why do lines 40-46 offer a particularly chilling comparison. What is Shylock saying. Compare L67.
How does Shylock react when he becomes the victim? He asks them to be merciful even though he wasn't prepared to do that to Antonio when he was the victim
