Answer:
Explanation:
What is Shylock's penalty demanding?
Portia orders Shylock to beg for the duke's mercy. The duke declares that he will show mercy: he spares Shylock's life and demands only a fine, rather than half of the Jew's estate. Shylock claims that they may as well take his life, as it is worthless without his estate.
