For many years, there has been an insoluble knot in my heart. Why did I always wear that stupid Little Red Riding Hood on my head since I was young, whether I was shopping for groceries on the street or hanging out with children. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, regardless of age, he must be like a clown, and he will be laughed at wherever he goes. Later, with my natural business acumen, I made countless pots of gold. But even being rich is not impressive, I have to live at the bottom of society. In order to improve my status and get along with other people in harmony, I don't hesitate to lend the hard-earned business income to the so-called poor people with noble souls. And those poor people not only don't know how to be grateful, but they call me vicious loan sharks. I have long been accustomed to their spurning. I am old and now I just want to live a peaceful life with my only daughter.

Things didn't go as expected, Jessica, my only daughter, this little thing that was eating inside and out took away my huge fortune, oh, those for my old-age care, ran away with a little white face named Lorenzo! My heart is completely broken. Everything seems to be on the verge of collapse. I hate those who take everything from me. I want revenge. No one can insult me ​​anymore.

At this moment, I learned that Antonio's ship, who had borrowed three thousand gold coins, was wrecked at sea. What an amazing news! Finally had a chance to avenge them, this opportunity can be described as waiting for a thousand years. Antonio, you bully little bastard, you never knew that you respected me, an old man, and despised my faith. More importantly, you are the little white-faced friend who abducted my daughter. Haha, don't think no one knows, you are still gay. I only want the pound of meat on your chest, and you should feel content. Because I didn't expose you, your behavior is not much better than mine.

But the young judge, Miss Portia, your beautiful appearance cannot hide your evil and mean heart. I admit that you are smart, but I have promised not to have a pound of meat, as long as a fine or even the principal is fine. And you, femme fatale, you didn't even let go of my last coffin. To accompany Antonio half and confiscate half.

No! No one takes pity on me. I could have not put this matter in court, but I just want a consolation prize, a fair and fair treatment. I want to challenge your laws as a Jew and let our compatriots who have been oppressed for hundreds of years raise their eyebrows. Just once, just sentence it to me, maybe I didn't really want to cut his flesh. In the end, I lost, completely.

I am leaving. I didn't even leave the last bit of property and house to my compatriots. I gave it to you, Christians. I just hope you treat my daughter kindly.

In the next life, you must not be a non-mainstream.

The Merchant of Venice quotes

  • Salerio: Why, I am sure, if he forfeit thou wilt not take his flesh: what's that good for?

    Shylock: To bait fish withal: if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge.

  • Shylock: He hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million, laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies; and what's his reason? I am a Jew.
