How did Launcelot Gobbo fools his father in Act2 Scene2 of MERCHANT OF VENICE

Answer 1

The scene takes us back to Venice where we are introduced to Launcelot Gobbo, the servant of Shylock. He is seen talking to himself. Apparently, he wants to leave the service of his Jew master. A ‘devil’ in him is urging him to run away while conscience is telling him to stay. He calls Shylock the ‘very devil incarnation’ and finally decides to leave him.
