Question

Speaking
In the play, Shylock had made Antonio promise to repay his debt with a pound of
flesh. He is legally permitted to hurt Antonio as the latter had signed a contract with
those terms. Work in pairs and discuss if the law should permit such cruel terms to
exist or adopt harsh measures to prevent them. Here are some clues-
should not allow such cruel terms to exist - the law protects people - prevent crime and abuse-
plug loopholes and declare all acts of violence as illegal - strict punishment - even punishment
should be humane - if law becomes cruel, then the aim of curbing cruelty becomes irrelevant -
appeal to the humanity and good sense - no cruelty should exist​
