As long as we’re on the subject, I want to take a look at a famous speech from Merchant of Venice, the speech where Shylock justifies, to two of his tormentors, his thirst for vengeance.

There are two main types of prejudice and intolerance in The Merchant of Venice ... speech, Shylock is talking about how Antonio has turned friends against him and made enemies hate him even ...

Portai has each party stand forth and questions them. Having asked if Antonio acknowledges the contract he made with Shylock and received an affirmative, Portia states that Shylock should show mercy.
