Question

Why did stephano called lorenzo a friend in merchant of venice act 5 scene 1

Answer 1

Answer:

LORENZO

The moon shines bright. In such a night as this,

When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees

And they did make no noise, in such a night

Troilus, methinks, mounted the Trojan walls

And sighed his soul toward the Grecian tents 5

Where Cressid lay that night.

JESSICA In such a night

Did Thisbe fearfully o’ertrip the dew

And saw the lion’s shadow ere himself

And ran dismayed away. 10

LORENZO In such a night

Stood Dido with a willow in her hand

Upon the wild sea-banks, and waft her love

To come again to Carthage.

JESSICA In such a night 15

Medea gathered the enchanted herbs

That did renew old Aeson.

LORENZO In such a night

Did Jessica steal from the wealthy Jew,

And with an unthrift love did run from Venice 20

As far as Belmont.

Lorenzo and Jessica are gazing at the beautiful Belmont night sky. They list off a bunch of things (from Greek mythology) that happened on nights like this, including Troilus weeping over Cressida, Thisbe running away from a lion, Dido waiting for her lover, Medea gathering herbs for Jason, and (not a Greek myth) Jessica running away with Lorenzo.

JESSICA In such a night

Did young Lorenzo swear he loved her well,

Stealing her soul with many vows of faith,

And ne’er a true one. 25
