Answer 2

Shylock convince the audience that his attack on Antonio is without any Mercy act 3 scene 1 by showing his hate for Antonio.  Also Antonio is a Christian and Shylock is a Jew.  Antonio lends money with no interest rate and rate of interest decreases.  That hurt the business of Shylock who is also a money lender. So Shylock does not show any mercy towards Antonio.
