One day Antonio’s friend Bassanio wanted to borrow more money from him to court a rich young lady Portia．Antonia didn’t have much money at hand, so he asked Bassanio to go into town to borrow money and tell the moneylenders that Antonio would guarantee the money.

Shylock earned money by lending money to other people and making them pay interest．Antonia thought it was wrong to make people pay interest．Shylock was angry about this because people went to borrow money from Antonia．And this meant Shylock earned less money．Another reason that Shylock and Antonia didn’t like each other was that Antonia was a Christian and Shylock was a Jew．They disagreed about a lot of things and did not talk to each other．

Bassanio borrowed thirty thousand dollars and said he would pay it back in three months．He would pay no interest．But if Antonio did not pay Shylock on time, Shylock would take one pound of flesh from wherever he chose to take it.

Antonio lost his ships and cargoes at sea．Shylock thought he would have the chance to take revenge on his old enemy．

The duke wished Shylock to have mercy on Antonio, but Shylock refused.

Portia, disguised in a man’s clothes, pretended to be a young judge from Rome．Portia asked Shylock to take three times the money instead of the penalty．But Shylock insisted he would keep to the contract． Portia agreed．But she also told Shylock that he could only take his pound of flesh, but NOT ONE

DROP OF HIS BLOOD, or the duke would TAKE EVERYTHING HIS OWNED．
