Answer 1

The other people present are Bassanio, Gratiano, Salerio and the officers of the court. Shylock enters the scene next. He only wants his bond and nothing else. He was offered twice the amount due, but he only wants a pound of Antonio's flesh. His hatred for Antonio is so deep that nothing else can satisfy him but his life.
