Question

4. Why did Shylock not dare to cut the pound of flesh from Antonio's heart?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the court in Venice, Shylock demands his pound of flesh. ... Bassanio offers his wife's money, which would more than pay the debt, but Shylock refuses to accept. Antonio's death is only prevented as Balthazar explains the bond is for flesh but not for a single drop of blood. So Shylock cannot collect the pound of flesh.
