Answer:
She says that mercy is a quality which is not compelled. It drops like the gentle rain from the sky. Mercy is like a double blessing. It blesses the person who shows mercy and the one who is benefitted by it. It suits a king more than his mighty sceptre.
No, Shylock is not at all affected by it.
Thank you!

Answer:
The line ‘Mercy is twice blessed’ is spoken by Portia. She says that the person who bestows mercy is blessed by God as well as the person who receives mercy.
