Act One, Scene Three:Shylock is a moneylender. ‘Three thousand ducats for three months, and Antonio bound...I think I may take his bond’ (Black P.27) Do you think Shylock is happy to lend Bassanio money? How do you know? Nope he sounds guilty and annoyed that he has to lend Bassanio money.Which does Shylock think is safer, his money lending business or Antonio’s shipping business? Why? He thinks it will be safer lending his money business to Antonio because he thinks he can trust him.Why doesn’t Shylock want to dine with Bassanio and Antonio? ‘Yes to smell pork, to eat of the habitation which your people the Nazarite conjured the devil into’ (Black P.29)Finish this quote that tells how Antonio is breaking his principal of not taking money lent with interest. ‘Methought you said you neither lend nor borrow upon advantage (Black P.31)Shylock accuses Antonio of a whole lot of nastiness. How does Antonio react? (Black P.35)Why doesn’t Bassanio want Antonio to agree to the bond?
