Abstract
Antonio is a Christian merchant, who in spite of his hatred for the Jew Shylock
asks him to lend him money. Shylock reminds him of how he curses the Jews and
yet he asks for his money. To this, Antonio replies that he should give the money
out of hatred and not love and that he was ready to return it with interest. Here
Antonio shows his relentless pride and power. Unfortunately, he suffers a loss in
his business and is unable to pay back the money. Now it is shylocks turn to be
merciless.
