Question

Show how Shylock has the cause to feel considerably distressed and troubled by his
own friend, later on in the play.

[MOV]

Answer 1

Answer:

In the final line of Shylock’s famous “hath not a Jew eyes?” speech, Shylock describes nature of revenge as a never-ending and intensifying cycle. He demonstrates that he understands that killing Antonio would be a larger crime than Antonio’s offenses against him, but prefers it that way. In this line Shylock simultaneously validates his desire for revenge, explaining that he’s only a villain because Antonio and his friends have taught him to be that way through their cruelty, and condemns it, explaining how he would take pleasure in a greater punishment for Antonio.
