Answer:
1) The term of the bond is if Antonio is unable to pay the three thousand ducats specified on the paper on a certain date, in an agreed place, the forfeit to be paid, will be an exact pound of Antonio's flesh which Shylock will be at liberty to take from any part of his body which pleases him.
2)The Duke remarks that Shylock is 'inhuman' since he refuses to show any mercy on Antonio. ... He states simply that he doesn't feel the need to answer anyone about his preference over the penalty; though his hatred towards Antonio is evident.
3)Shylock says he will not give any particular reason except that it is his fancy and whim. He gives the example that if his house is infested with rats it is fancy to spend ten thousand ducats to have them poisoned.
4)Antonio tells that if Bassanio is hoping to soften Shylock's heart he might as well stand on the sea shore and ask the tide not to rise so high as usual. Secondly, he may as well ask the wolf why he has made the mother sheep mourn for the lamb he has devoured.
5)One half of Shylock's property will go to the person against whom Shylock plotted to take his life and the rest will be handed over to the private treasury of the state.
Shylock's life depended on the Duke's mercy. Yes, Shylock deserves the punishment, as you sow so shall you reap. He had dug a ditch for Antonio but it seems he himself fell into it.
