Question

To bait fish withal; if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. He hath disgraced me and hindered me half a million, laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies – and what's his reason? I am a Jew. (write you reaction bout it)

Answer 1

Answer:

Shylock has made Antonio sign a contract which states that if he cannot repay the loan he will instead repay Shylock with a pound of his own flesh. Shylock starts the speech by saying “To bait fish withal”, referring to what he will do with Antonio's pound of flesh: he will use it as bait to catch fish.
