What does Antonio say about his ships at the beginning of the play
My ventures are not in one bottom trusted
What does Antonio say at the start of the play to show he is sad?
In sooth,I know not why I am so sad
What does Antonio say to Gratanio?
I hold the world but as the world, Gratanio; A stage where every man must play a part , and mine a sad one
Bassanio says to Antonio about his debt
How much I have disabled mine estate
Bassanio to Antonio about how much he loves him and owes him
To you, Antonio, I owe the most, in money and in love
Bassanio says about portia
In Belmont is a lady richly left, and she is fair,and fairer than that word, of wonderful virtues; Sometimes from her eyes I did receive fair speechless messages; Her name is portia
Portia says about her fathers wishes in his will about her being controlled
I may neither chose who I would nor refuse who I dislike; so is the will of a living daughter curbed by the will of a dead father
Nerissa says to portia about the chests
The lottery that he hath devised in these three chests of gold, silver, and lead, whereof who chooses his meaning chooses you, will, no doubt, never be chosen rightly but one who you shall rightly love
Portia says to nerissa about Bassanio
I remember him well, and I remember him worthy of thy praise
Shy locks response to basssanios invitation to dinner
I will buy with you, sell with you, talk with you, and so following ; but I will not eat with you, drink with you nor pray with you
Shylocks hate for Antonio about his moneylending
I hate him for he is a Christian;
But more for that low simplicity
He lends out money gratis, and brings down
The rate of usance here with us in Venice
Shylock talking to Antonio about the way he treats him
Signior Antonio, many a time and oft
In the Rialto you have rated me
about my moneys and my usances.
Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,
For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe
You call me misbeliever, cut-throat dog,
And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine,
And all for the use of that which is my own.
Antonios response to shylock “signior Antonio
I am as like to call thee so again,
To spit on thee again, to spurn thee too
Shylocks conditions to the bond
An equal pound
Of your fair flesh, to be cut off and taken
In what part of your body pleaseth me
The gold casket
Who chooseth me shall gain what many men desire
Silver casket
Who chooseth me shall get as much as he deserves
Lead casket
Who chooseth me must give and hazard all he hath
The scroll of the gold casket
All that glitters is not gold;
Often have you heard that told
Shylocks obsession with money
My daughter!o my ducats!o my daughter
Salerios kind words about Antonio
A kinder gentlemen treads not on this earth
Shylocks speech about the Jews
I am a Jew. Hath
Not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands,
organs
Feelings,sense affections, passions? Fed by the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as
A Christian is?
If you prick us ,do we not bleed?
If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison
Us,do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we
Not
Revenge?
Lead scroll
You that choose not by the view,
Chance as fair and choose as true
Portias love for “Lord Bassanio
You see me, Lord Bassanio, where I stand,
Such as I am; though for myself alone,
I would not be ambitious in my wish,
To wish myself much better; yet, for you,
I would trebled twenty times myself;
A thousand times more fair, ten thousand
Times more rich
Bassanio describing Antonio to portia
The dearest friend to me, the kindest man
