Consequences for bond story in merchant of venice

Answer 1

Duke: (To Antonio) "I am sorry for thee; thou art come to answer a stony adversary, an inhuman wretch uncapable of pity, void and empty from any dram of mercy."

Shylock: "I have possess'd your grace of what I purpose; and by our holy Sabbath have I sworn to have the due and forfeit of my bond: if you deny it, let the danger light upon your charterand your cities freedom.  You'll ask me why I rather choose to have weight of carrion-flesh than to receive 3,000 ducats: I'll not answer that."
