$\bold{\purple{\fbox{\blue{Here Is Your Answer Mate}}}}$

Shylock's following speech denotes his lack of sympathy towards Antonio's current situation and how he now has to provide a pound of flesh to Shylock. Along with this, the speech provides a further understanding to the deep rooted history of Shylocks mistreatment by Antonio and other Christians.

Answer 2

Answer:

In an effort to calm Shylock and convince him to reconsider his decision to remove a pound of flesh from Antonio's body, Antonio's friends Salanio and Salarino asked Shylock what he would do with human flesh that wasn't profitable for him. Then Shylock delivered this speech, urging people to use that flesh as a lure for fishing. My vengeance will be satisfied if it neither feeds anyone nor is financially successful. I've been humiliated by Antonio, who has stopped me from earning $500,000 so far. He had prevented or made my deals and bargains unsuccessful, mocked (felt sorrow) at my gains and losses, and despised my holy nation (there was also a conflict because Shylock was a Jew and Antonio was a Christian). Why has Antonio increased my enemies while decreasing my friends? simply because I'm Jewish. Not a single Jew? Is it true that Jews lack hands, organs, all body parts (just like Christians), senses, affections, and passions...? Jews eat the same things as everyone else and are harmed by the same things. They experience the same illnesses and receive the same treatments (as a Christian would receive treatment) in addition to being warmed and cooled by the same summer and winter. (Showing that a Jew and a Christian are both human.) If you sting or pinch us, won't we bleed just like a Christian would? Do we laugh if you tickle us?

We won't perish if you give us poison, right? Therefore, if you wrong us. Should we not exact retribution? If we (Jews) are similar to you in the other areas, shouldn't we also be similar in our desire for vengeance?

What should be done in a humble manner if a Jew wrongs a Christian? Christian ought to exact justice. What should a Jew do, using a Christian as an example, if a Christian wrongs a Jew? (revenge). Undoubtedly, it should be retaliation. I'll use the villainy (evil nature) you taught me to use (Shylock), and Antonio will find it challenging.
