(iii) Give some incidents to show that the man referred to in the extract used to
insult Shylock.
Answers
The extract is missing, but going by your question, one can assume that the man being referred to in the extract is Antonio.
Antonio is guilty of having misbehaved with Shylock on a number of occasions, at the Rialto, a business place for merchants. Shylock says that Antonio had often ‘rated’ Shylock,meaning insulted him. Antonio had also called him names like ‘misbeliever, cutthroat dog’, thus ridiculing his religious beliefs and labelling him a filthy dog. Shylock had been treated like a ‘stranger cur’, meaning that he was not even considered a human. Instead, he was treated like a stray mongrel. Shylock also remembers Antonio spitting on his clothes. Further, Antonio himself gives proof of having misbehaved with Shylock when he states that he would do the same again, ‘To spet on thee again, to spurn thee too.’
