Question

Q: 7. What is Shylock's motive at 4.1.84-86 for rejecting the money
offered him and insisting on the forfeit of the bond? When the
moneylender is frustrated in his attempt to kill the merchant, why
does Shakespeare continue the episode, bringing in additional
penalties against Shylock, including the requirement that he convert
to Christianity?​
