_D: shylock, the world thinksand I think so toothat you are playing a cruel game, but we all believe that you will give it up in the end. Have mercy on Antonio, Shylock. Be reasonable.S: Ive promised to take my pound of flesh. If you wont let me have it, and that will be a sign of weakness and no one will trust your laws any more. The greatness of Venice will soon be lost. Antonio is my enemy. And I hate him.B: do all men kill the things they do not love?A: its useless trying to argue with Shylock. You might as well go stand upon the beach and argue with the sea. Dont wait any longer. Pass judgment on me and give Shylock what he wants.B: Ill pay you 6 thousand ducats for three thousand ducats that Antonio borrowed.S: if you offered me six times what you have just offered, I would still take my pound of flesh. Give me my pound of flesh!D: let us be calm, gentlemen. Shylock, how can you hope for mercy yourself when you show none?S: I have done nothing wrong and I fear no judgment. I desire my pound of flesh.(enter portia, dressed as the judge/)D: greetings, learned judge! I do no envy you your job. This is a most troublesome case.P: greetings! Please be seated. Are you Antonio, and is this your agreement with Shylock? What are you accused of?A: Shylock does not accuse me of anything. My fate is a consequence of bad fortune.P: then Shylock must be merciful. He must have mercy on Antonio.S: why must I have mercy on him? Tell me that! Ive kept my side of the bargain and I expect him to keep his.P: Mercy brings good. Mercy falls like the gentle rain from the sky upon the earth. It is twice blessed: It blesses those who give it, and those who receive it. Its the highest of the highest. We should learn to show mercy to others. Do you still ask for this pound of flesh?S: I ask for my legal right.B: I offer ten times the money that Antonio has borrowed. Please change the law a little. To do a great right, do a little wrong and in that way we can save Antonio.P: Thats impossible, sir! We cannot change a law. If one law is changed , then people will later want to change other laws.S: Oh, wise young judge!P: Let me see this agreement, this promise of Antonio to you.S: Here it is.P: I see. According to the law. Shylock ma have a pound of flesh to be cut off nearest to Antonios heart. (to Shylock) Be merciful! Take more than three times your money and let me tear up his paper.S: I have sworn to beaven to have my pound of flesh. I must have it!P: It must be so. Antonio, get ready and offer up your breast. And Shylock, take your knife and prepare to do the deed. Have you brought something to weigh the flesh? A balance?S: Yes. I have everything ready here.P: Did you bring a surgeon, Shylock, to take care of Antonios wounds and make sure that he doesnt bleed to death?S: Thats not a requirement. Theres nothing about that in the agreement.P: do you wish to say anything. Antonio?A: Only a little. I am ready for it. Farewell Bassanio. Dont be sad for me. Tell your wife about me and let her be the judge of my character. If Shylock cuts deep enough, Ill pay him back with all my heart.B: Let me take you in my arms and say goodbye. I love you more than my own life, more than my wife, and more than all the world. (He cries.)P: Your wife would not be pleased to hear you say that.S: we are wasting time. Learned judge, pass your judgement!P: take your pound of flesh! I declare the court allows it and the law gives it to you.(Shylock advances towards Antonio and prepares to use his knife.)P: wait! There is something else. Antonio has promised to give you a pound of his flesh. But he has not promised to give you any of his blood. If you let one drop of his blood fall, you will lose all your land and all your money.S: it that the law?P: that is the law. You wanted justice, so you shall get justice, more than you wanted. S: I will take the money. Give me three times more than Antonio borrowed from me.B; here it is. (he cries full of happiness/)P: wait! Shylock would not take the money earlier. All he wanted was justice. That is all he can have now. you must cut off one pound of flesh, no more, no less. And not one drop of blood must fall. (Shylock turns and starts to leave the court.)P: wait, Shylock. The law of Venice says that if anyone tries to kill or murder any citizens of Venice, everything that be owns shall be taken away from him. One half of his money and his goods shall be given to the city of Venice and the other half shall be given to the person he has tried to kill. His life shall be at the mercy of the Duke. Therefore, go down on your knees and beg the Duke for mercy.S: Good sir. I beg for mercy. Please forgive me for all Ive said and done.D: Although youve not shown yourself worthy of our kindness, you will see the difference of our spirit. I shall not have you killed but as your punishment. Half of your money is now Antonios. You must give the other half to the city of Venice.S; take my life too. My money and goods are as dear to me as life itself. They are my only comfort. When you take those
