Question

Write your views on the speech óf shylock in act3 scene1 of 400 words​

Answer 1

In this speech, Shylock shows two sides to his personality.  He shows that he is sensitive and is hurt by the prejudices that people have against him because he is a Jew.  At the same time, he shows that he is angry and is willing to hit back at others.

He shows the first of these sides with the more famous part of the speech.  This is the part about how Jews are just the same as anyone else.  He shows the second at the beginning and end of the speech.  He talks about using the pound of flesh to bait fish hooks and he talks about how badly he wants to get revenge on Antonio.
