In merchant of venice act 4 scene1 state tge examples antonio gives to illustrate shylock's stubborn attitude?
Answers
Shylock is a towering personality of the play. In all his answers and retorts he has the best argument. When he enters the Court during the Trial Scene,he is absolutely calm but determined to have his bond. When the Duke appeals to him to show some pity to Antonio nhe tells them that he has sworn by the Sabbath to take the penalty. He does not give any reason why he wants a pound of flesh and says, "it is my humour". He shows his intellectual strength when he argues :"The pound of flesh, which I demand of him, is dearly bought, 'tis mine and I will have it."
Shylock remains adamant in spite of several appeals made by Bassanio, the Duke and Portia. His firmness is remarkable as he rejects Bassanio' s offer to repay ten times the due amount. His motive is not to extract money but to inflict pain on his purpose. He emerges as an inflexible man,whose live for his race is as deep as life..
