The quality of mercy" is a soliloquy by Portia in William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice; it happens during Act 4, of Scene 1, which is set in the Venetian Court of Justice. It is the speech wherein Portia begs Shylock for mercy. The speech is considered as one of the great speeches in Shakespeare, and it is an instance of the esteem Shakespeare held for those who shows mercy. It means "Because he has to, no one shows mercy. The way soft rain falls on the field is just like this. Mercy is a blessing for two. It blesses whoever gives and whoever receives it".

Explanation:

  • The qualities of mercy are not strained: as the gentle rain from heaven, it drops into the world. He's blessed twice. The giver and the receiver are both blessed. It is best given by those who exercise power over others. For a monarch it is more important than his crown
  • The extent of his time power is shown by his scepter–the emblem of reverence and majesty, the source of terror and fear of the kings. But compassion is above skeptical power. In the kings ' hearts it is throned. It's God's own attribute. And earthly power resembles the power of God the most when justice is driven by compassion.
  • Therefore Jews, while justice is your goal, consider this: if we relied solely on justice, none of us would be saved. We pray for grace and we learn to be gracious by finding it ourselves. I talked about it in order to make your plea's justice softer. But this extreme Venetian Court has nothing else than the penalty against the merchant when you insist on pure justice.
