The above dialogue is spoken by Shylock who is a Jew and a money lender in Venice who lends money on a high rate of interest. He is talking with Bassanio. Bassanio has asked Shylock a loan of three thousand ducats which he would pay back within three months also keeping his friend Antonio as a guarantor for his loan amount.Later, Shylock agrees and gives him the loan and makes an agreement with him and Antonio, his guarantor that if he fails in returning the amount within the time period then Shylock would extract a pound of flesh from any part of Antonio's body to which all the three agree i.e, Shylock, Bassanio & Antonio, and Shylock makes Antonio sign a bond for the same mutual agreement. The reason for demanding a pound of flesh shows Shylock's hatred towards Antonio who is a pious person and a well-known merchant of Venice.
