Question

Shylock : Go with me to a notary, seal me there your single bond and in merry sport, if you repay me not on such a day, in such a place, such sum or sums, as are expressed in the condition, let the forfeit be nominated for an equal pound of your fair flesh, to be cut off and taken in what part of your body pleaseth me. Explain with reference to context
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let us go to a notary and there put your signature on the bond. And, for a pleasant joke, we will make an agreement that if you do not pay me back the sum involved in this transaction, on the fixed day, in an agreed place, let us specify as the penalty an exact pound of your flesh, to be cut off and taken away from whatever part of your body I choose.
