No Shylock did not like the way Antonio treated him.
Explanation:
- This is from The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare.
- Shylock is a Jew and Antonio is a Christian who has come to borrow money from him for his friend Bassanio.
- Shylock recalls the past where Antonio has spat on Shylock's beard, kicked him out of the door and had even called him a 'cutthroat dog'.
- Antonio had also brought loss to Shylock by lending money free of interest. Shylock is a money lender and so it brought him a huge loss.
- Shylock who has all this agony, asks sarcastically whether a dog (himself) would have money.
- He finally agrees to pay the amount free of interest, provided, if he fails to pay the money, he must give one pound of his flesh cut rightly from his chest part.
