I remember reading that quote for the very first time, and I thought the pound of flesh was some hidden metaphor or Shakespeare thing. I didn't realize that Shylock literally wanted to cut off a pound of Antonio's flesh. That's just gross.

He hates Antonio because Antonio is a Christian. Shylock hates Antonio, because Antonio undercuts his business by giving out loans with no interest. Antonio has also publicly insulted Shylock and spit in his face. The demanded pound of flesh is a legal way for Shylock to seek revenge and inflict physical pain upon Antonio.
