Answer:
Explanation:
Reference to the Holy Sabbath is
found in the Ten Commandments
of the Hebrew Bible which asks a
person to work hard for six days
and rest on the seventh day which
is regarded as a holy day when the
God gives his blessings. There is
an irony in what Shylock says with
reference to Sabbath because he
is asking the judge to give him his
due, i.e. pay due to a devil person
without any merits. Whereas the
concept of Sabbath mentions
about toiling and doing one’s own
work to get his/her dues from the
God. He is trying to fulfil his evil
intentions by referring to a holy
book and its laws.
