The court scene of The Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare is a dramatic and pivotal moment in the play, where the conflict between the Jewish moneylender Shylock and the Christian merchant Antonio reaches its climax. • The scene takes place in a court of justice in Venice, where Antonio is brought before the duke and the magnificoes of the city to answer for his failure to repay the loan he borrowed from Shylock. According to the bond they signed, Shylock is entitled to a pound of Antonio’s flesh if he defaults on the payment. Shylock is determined to exact his revenge on Antonio, who has insulted, abused, and spat on him in the past, and who represents the Christian society that oppresses and discriminates against him. Antonio, on the other hand, is resigned to his fate, and hopes that his friend Bassanio, who has used the money to woo the wealthy heiress Portia, will be happy with her. • The duke tries to persuade Shylock to show mercy and accept twice the amount of the debt, but Shylock refuses, saying that he has sworn to have his bond and that he has a legal right to do so. He also argues that he has no reason to be merciful, as the Christians have shown him none, and that he is only following their example of treating their slaves as property. • https://happystoriesretold.com/2023/1...
