Act Four, Scene Two
  1. What invitation does Portia refuse and why? The rings
  2. What does Nerissa plan to get, why do you think this is important? Husbands ring
  3. Do you admire Portia after these scenes, or do you find her actions cruel. Use examples to support your thinking. I think i find her cruel, for saying she only accepts the rings, and because portia is taking the rings from Nerissa husband

Shylock Character Study #2
Shylock makes his last appearance in A4S1

  • How does he behave when he thinks he is winning? Greedy and selfish
  • Is his behaviour what you expected of him based on the story so far, look carefully at his one-ine answers, as well as at his longer speeches. Look too at his reply to Gratiano L 139-142. No his behaviour isn't what i was expecting.
  • Why do lines 40-46 offer a particularly chilling comparison. What is Shylock saying. Compare L67.
  • How does Shylock react when he becomes the victim?
