Explanation:
In the very first scene that Shylock and Antonio appear together in The Merchant of Venice, Shylock says that in the past, Antonio has treated him cruelly because Shylock is Jewish. Shylock says Antonio called him amisbeliever, cut-throat, dog / And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine. (I.iii)
Shylock also says that Antonio kicked him on the street like a stray dog:
[You] foot me as you spurn a stranger cur
Over your threshold! (I.iii)
I don't know about you, but being called cruel names and being spit at would make me pretty upset!We know that what Shylock says is true, because Antonio himself confirms it. Rather than denying the name-calling and spitting, he agrees that he's done it many times before and will continue to do so. He is not appealing to Shylock to lend him money as a friend, but as an enemy.
