what steps has Shylock taken to get back the flown bird?
Answers
Answer:
Hello
Explanation:
Salarino and Solanio discuss the rumors that yet another of Antonio’s ships has been wrecked. They are joined by Shylock, who accuses them of having helped Jessica escape. The two Venetians proudly take credit for their role in Jessica’s elopement. Shylock curses his daughter’s rebellion, to which Salarino responds, “There is more difference between thy flesh and hers than between jet and ivory”. Salarino then asks Shylock whether he can confirm the rumors of Antonio’s lost vessels. Shylock replies that Antonio will soon be bankrupt and swears to collect his bond. Salarino doubts Shylock’s resolve, wondering what the old man will do with a pound of flesh, to which Shylock chillingly replies that Antonio’s flesh will at least feed his revenge. In a short monologue, Shylock says Antonio has mistreated him solely because Shylock is a Jew, but now Shylock is determined to apply the lessons of hatred and revenge that Christian intolerance has taught him so well
The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare is the story of a Jewish moneylender Shylock who demands that an anti-semitic Christian named Antonio offer “a pound of flesh” as collateral against a loan.
Explanation:
- The bird here refers to Shylock's daughter Jessica
- Jessica is the Shylock's daughter a Jewish moneylender who elopes with Lorenzo, a penniless Christian along with a chest of Shylock's money, eventually ending up in Bassanio's and Portia's household.
- Jessica's actions instigates Shylock's vengeful insistence on his "pound of flesh" from Antonio since Antonio had borrowed money from Shylock to help Bassanio and court Portia; however, through misfortune, Antonio was unable to repay and is subjected to an onerous default. Moreover Jessica's conversion to Christianity further angered Shylock and he wanted avenge Antonio for all these.
