Answers
Answer:
bcos she ran away with Lorenzo...and also spent 4000 ducats atonce
Shylock wants his daughter dead at his foot because his daughter has not only brought him, disgrace and dishonor by running away from home but has also caused him a heavy financial loss by stealing his money and his jewels. He would not mind his daughter having the jewels in her ears if he can have the satisfaction of seeing his daughter dead before him as he places greater importance to money than his daughter. He would feel tortured if his daughter remains alive and goes about in Genoa, flaunting the jewels which she had stolen from him. If she lies dead before him with the jewels in her ear, he can gloat over the sight. Death is the minimum punishment he thinks that his daughter should receive and he would then not mind the loss of his jewels.
