Explanation:
With these two lines, Shylock sums up his feelings towards Antonio and towards everyone else who has wronged him, individually and collectively, throughout his life. If Shylock can get an advantage over Antonio, he will take his revenge against him without a second thought, and without remorse.
Within minutes, Shylock makes a contract for a loan to Antonio, the enforcement of which sets Shylock's revenge into motion and which destroys one of them and almost destroys the other.
Shylock feels perfectly justified in seeking his revenge against Antonio when the loan comes due and Antonio is unable to pay Shylock what he owes.
