Antonio
The devil can cite scripture for his purpose
An evil soul producing holy witness
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,
A goodly apple rotter at the heart:
O what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
Shylock
Three thousands ducats:,tis a good round sum
nths from twelve, then, let me see the rate
[a]What provokes Antonio? What does he think of Shylock?

Answer:
His plays and one of his poems, Venus and Adonis, made him much of his money during his lifetime. The profits from Venus and Adonis, published in 1592 during the plague years when the theatres were closed, and reprinted during his life more than any other work, may have been a source of income that he invested as a shareholder in the Lord Chamberlain's Men. This was the theatre company for whom he was both the primary playwright and one of the actors. As a playwright, the plays he wrote belonged to the company, but as a shareholder, Shakespeare earned a percentage of the profits each time his company performed any play, including his own. With the money he made as a shareholder he was able to invest in other endeavours. For example, he purchased a home near the Blackfriars Theatre in London, which his company owned in addition to the Globe. Shakespeare also purchased the second largest home in Stratford-Upon-Avon, to which he eventually retired.
