Question

Texts highlighting shylock's villainy ???

Answer 1

Shylock is a Jewish moneylender in Venice. He is unpopular with other characters who accuse him of practising usury. This means lending money with outrageously high rates of interest . The merchants, such as Antonio, curse and spit at Shylock because they believe this way of making money is immoral.

As he calculates the interest on Bassanio's loan, Shylock remembers the many times that Antonio has cursed him, calling him a “misbeliever, cut-throat, dog / And spit upon [his] Jewish gaberdine” (I. iii. 107–108).

Answer 2

While negotiating with Shylock for Bassanio’s loan, Antonio warns Bassanio that Shylock can be manipulative. Antonio describes Shylock as a “villain” who lies for his own purposes. While Antonio speaks from his personal opinion, readers become aware that many others feel this way about Shylock.
