He used to lend his money to merchants and then make them pay back much more than they had borrowed.
I shall never be happy till I have caught him.
You donīt like the way I make my money.
Shall I bow to you and thank you for treating me like a dog?
If I canīt pay you back, you can make me suffer for it.
I donīt want you get the money from Shylock.
Before he died, Portiaīs father thought of a way to find a good husband for his daughter.
Portia and her servant Nerissa were talking about all the young men who had come to try to win Portia.
The man who chooses me shall get what many men wish for.
The man who chooses me shall get as much as he ought to get.
The man who chooses me must give, and must be ready to lose everything he was.
But he was surprised when all he saw inside was the head of a dead man and a piece of paper.
All that shines brigtly is not gold.
The Prince left with a sad heart and Portia was pleased to see him go.
I am a great man: so I ought to get all that I wish for.
There are many fools covered in silver.
If you choose a wrong box, I shall see no more of you.
I could teach you how to choose the right box, but I have promised not to do that.
I canīt bear to wait.
Those things which seem beautiful from outside are not always beautiful inside.
It tells me that I should be ready to give all that I have to the woman whom I love.
If you are pleased with this, turn to your lady and kiss her.
Will you be mine?
I wish, that I were a thousand times more beautiful and thousand times richer; then I might be good enough for you.
She took a ring off her finger and gave it to him.
When you lose it,or give it away, that will be the end of our love.
We wish you joy in your marriage.
Just as the four happy people were arranging to be married, three friends arrived from Venice with a letter from Antonio.
She was sure that something very bad had happend.
I am half of you, amd I must have half of anything that troubles you.
If I do that, It will certainly be the end of my life.
Therefore please forget about the money that you borrowed from me.
So as soon as they were married, Bassanio hurried off to Venice to see his dear friend.
Then she put on the clothes and pretended to be a judge.
They were in love with each other and they had run away to get married.
Shylock was so angry that he ran through the streets of Venice.
He shouted to everyone about his daughter and the money that she had taken.
When the angry Shylock heard that Antonioīs ships were lost at sea, he was very pleased.
Donīt talk me about mercy and forgiveness.
The brave Antonio did not again ask Shylock for mercy, for he knew that Shylock meant to kill him.
All Antonio wished for now was to see his friend Bassanio once more.
I have been promissed my pound of flesh.
Do all men kill that things that they hate?
It is useless trying to talk to Shylock.
Donīt wait any longer. Pass judgement on me and give Shylock what he wants.
I will pay you six thousand ducats in return for the three thousand ducats that Antonio borrowed.
If you offered me six times the amount that you have just offered, I would still take my pound of flesh.
How can you hope for mercy yourself when you show none?
I have done nothing wrong and I fear no judgement.
As the duke wondering what to do, Portia entered the large room,dressed like a judge.
Mercy falls like the gentle rain from the sky upon the earth. It blesses him who give it, and him who receives it.
We all pray to God for mercy: so we should learn to show mercy t others.
I ask for what is mine by law!
I offer ten times the amount of money that Antonio has borrowed. Please change the law a little so that we may save Antonio.
Let me see this agreement, this promise of Antoniou to you.
By law Shylock may have a pound of flesh to be cut off by him nearest to Antonioīs heart.
Have you brought anything to weigh the flesh?
I would gladly lose everything in order to save you.
Your wife wouldnīt like that offer if she were present.
But I wish that she were dead and in heaven. Then She would be able to ask God to help Antonio.
We are wasting time.
As Shylock began to move towards Antonio, POrtia spoke again.
If you let one drop of his blood fall, you will lose all land and your all your money.
Shylock would not take the money earlier. All he wanted was his pound of flesh.
Shylock turned to leave the court.
The law of Veniece says that if anyone tries to kill one of the people of Venice, everything that he owns shall be taken away from him.
Your life is now at the mercy of the duke, so fall on your knees and beg for mercy.
Take my life too! My money and goods are as dear to me as life itself.
I shall bee happy to give up my part of Shylockīs money.
Shylock must promise to leave the money on his death to his daughter and her husband.
They were full of thanks for her.
We know that you donīt want us to pay you, but we wish to give you something on order to show our thanks to you.
Portia pretended suddenly to notice a beautiful ring on Bassanioīs finger.
I shall wear it so that I can always remember you.
Bassanio had promissed to wear the ring for ever.
She made me promise never to sell it, nor to give it away, nor to lose it.
If your wife knew what I have done for you, she wouldnīt want you to keep the ring.
He should have much more than a ring after all he has done for us.
He felt that he must show his deep thanks to the young judge and he knew that Antonio was right. At last he changed his mind and sent Gratiano after Portia with the ring.
Iīll see if I can get my husbandīs ring that he too promised to keep for ever!
Gratiano tried to laugh about it, but Nerissa pretended to be very unhappy.
You promissed me that you would wear it until you died.
She said solemnly.
He would never give it away for all the money in the world.
You have broken your promise to me! I shall never love you until I see the ring again.
I gave the ring to a judge who wouldnīt take the three thousand ducats I offered him. He had just saved the life of my dearest friend. What else could I do?
I pray you to forgive him.
I once lent may body so that Bassanio could come and marry you. I should be dead now if the young judge hadnīt saved me.
Let it be so. Come, young servant of the wise judge - or would you rather be my wife?
