What did Shylock 's estimate of Launcelot 's character ? Why does he tell Jessica about it ? ( In Merchant of Venice Act 2 Scene 5 )
Answers
Answer:
if you readed the Act 2 , Scene 5 the total summary is that Launcelot is at Shylock's house with Shylock and his daughter Jessica where Launcelot is reminding the Shylock to come at Supper to Bassiono so, Launcelot came to Shylock as reminder but by some talking between them (Jessica , Shylock, Launcelot ) we Totaly observed that Shylock dislike Launcelot and saying to her daughter to where else Jessica didn't see anything same to Launcelot. And now Launcelot talk openly to Shylock as he is now not his servent .
Shylock's to Jessica :-(for Launcelot)
The patch is kind enough, but a huge feeder,
45Snail-slow in profit, and he sleeps by day
More than the wildcat. Drones hive not with me.
Therefore I part with him, and part with him
To one that would have him help to waste
His borrowed purse. Well, Jessica, go in.
Morden :- (for Launcelot)
The fool’s nice enough, but he’s such a huge eater, and slow as a snail when he works. He sleeps all day like a cat. Bees that don’t work can’t stay in my hive, so I’m letting him go, handing him off so he can waste money for his new boss, the man who borrowed money from me. Anyway, Jessica, go inside. I might come back soon. Do as I told you. Shut the doors after you. As the saying goes, lock things up, and you’ll get to keep them.
Launcelot openly talking to Shylock :-
LAUNCELOT
Why, Jessica!
LAUNCELOT
Jessica!
SHYLOCK
Who bids thee call? I do not bid thee call.
Morden:-
LAUNCELOT
Jessica!
SHYLOCK
Who asked you to call her? I’m not asking you to call
