- Antonio is now convinced that he knows the reason for Shylock’s insistence on claiming his bond. What is it, use quotes from the text to support your answer.

Do you think Antonio’s feelings towards Bassanio have changed since the beginning, why?=yes, he had hope that Bassanio would pay him off but now he just hopes he will be there to see him die. Bassanio have changed since the beginning, why? no not really because Antonio's feeling's towards bassanio's feeling's are not the same as each others because bassanio's ships still haven't came back. - Shylock refuses to consider the idea of Mercy, but demands Justice. Consider the following ideas:
- Is mercy the same as forgiveness? yes because Mercy and forgiveness is the same thing because if someone is trying to give mercy to someone else and that person gives up they give mercy to the person that has been trying to stop them doing the stuff that they have been doing, then the person just gives forgiveness to them
- Is it easier to show mercy or look for revenge? both because if someone like to be an example: if someone comes up to u and hits or punch than that person to trying to seek for revenge on that person that didn't do anything to them but also the person that got hit or punch will give them mercy even though the person punched hit them.
- Is justice the same as fairness? Justice and fairness is equal because it's often assumed that there is no difference between the two ideas and hence that Justice and Fairness are equal from each other.
- Is true justice possible in this case?
