Question

can anyone please explain the quality of mercy from Merchant of Venice.
Please answer fast I have my exam tomorrow. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Portia argues that mercy is better than justice. ... Mercy is abundant and freely poured on the earth by God, just like the rain. Portia says it is blessed twice because it blesses both the receiver and the giver of mercy. She says that the more power a person has the more mercy is a credit to his or her character.

Answer 2

Answer:

This phrase is taken from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. It occurs where Portia demands Shylock be merciful, stating that “The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven/Upon the place beneath” (Act-IV, Scene-I).
