Duke, Declaration, Antonio, Bassanio, Gratiano, Salleo and others entered.

duke

Is Antonio here?

Antonio

Yes, I'm here.

duke

I feel sorry for you; You answer a heartless man, a poor man without humanity, a man without mercy,

And kindness.

Antonio

I heard that you tried to persuade him, but he insisted. I am here, waiting for his cruel punishment.

duke

Salary, call Shylock to court.

Salleo

Yes, sir. He is ready at the door. There he is, my Lord.

duke

Make room for him to stand in front of us. Sherlock, the whole world thinks so, and I think so. It's all because of your malice. Why don't you show that your Mercedes is so obviously cruel? If you show your tenderness and love, the poor can be saved. We all expect a gentle answer, Sherlock.

Shylock

I have made it clear that I must punish him according to our contract. If you still want to ask me why I don't want to accept 3000 dollars, but take a pound of meat, I can only say that I like it and I am very happy.

Bassanio

That's not the answer, you heartless man. Forgive your cruelty.

Shylock

I'm not trying to please you.

Bassanio

Do all people kill things they don't love?

Shylock

Who hates what he won't kill?

Bassanio

Every offense is not hate at first.

Shylock

What? Would you like to be bitten by a snake twice?

Antonio

Stop begging him. He has a heart of stone. Let me have a judgment and satisfy his wishes.

Bassanio

We borrowed 3000 pounds from you, and now we want to pay you back twice. Is it okay?

Shylock

Don't! I just want to punish him! I just want that pound of meat.

duke

How can you hope to be forgiven if you have no compassion at all?

Shylock

I have never done anything bad; I don't need to be afraid! This pool of meat means a lot to me. It belongs to me and I must get it! If you refuse me, the laws of Venice will become a dead letter. Now I'm waiting for the verdict. Answer me, can I get that pound of meat?

duke

I have sent for John, a learned doctor. If he doesn't rule today, I may dissolve the court.

Salleo

My Lord, there is a messenger from Padua with a letter from the doctor.

duke

Bring us the letter; Call the messenger.

Bassanio

Cheer up, Antonio! I will never let you shed a drop of blood for me.

Antonio

Bassanio, I just want you to live. Remember that we are forever friends. I'm not afraid of death.

Bassanio

Why do you sharpen your knife so carefully?

Shylock

Cut 1 the meat from the pond from him!

Greciano

I don't believe you can't be moved by anything. Human nature is good. You too.

Shylock

No matter how gently you say it, it's useless.

Greciano

You fucking dog; You will go to hell when you die.

Shylock

You make so much noise, but you hurt your heart in vain. Brother, I advise you to give your mind a rest, or it will be damaged. I'm talking to the judge, not you.

Sario is the messenger.

Duke, are you from Padua?

Yes, my Lord. John sends his regards to your majesty.

Submit a letter

duke

This is Bellario's letter, so where is the lawyer he recommended?

Nerissa

He is waiting for your interview outside.

duke

With all my heart, you two brought him here.

Portia came in, dressed like a doctor of law.

You're welcome: please sit down.

Do you know about this case?

Portia

Yes, I know this case.

Which is a businessman and which is a Jew?

duke

Antonio and old Shylock both stood up.

Portia

Is your name Sherlock?

Shylock

Yes

Portia

This case is strange. According to the laws of Venice, your accusation is reasonable. Your life is in his hands, right?

Antonio

He said so.

Portia

Do you admit this connection?

Antonio

I know.

Portia

So Sherlock, you should be kind.

Shylock

Why should I be compassionate? Tell me why.

Portia

Kindness is a valuable quality. Everyone will have it. It's over. Although Sherlock, you ask for fairness. If you stick to your opinion, Antonio will die.

Shylock

I am willing to take responsibility for what I have done! I only ask that I be allowed to punish him.

Portia

Is he unable to pay back the money?

Bassanio

Yes, I want to pay off my debt, just twice. If he is not satisfied, I am willing to pay with my hands and my heart. If he is not satisfied. The court should change a little to save the poor.

Portia

Never; There is no power in Venice to change one established law, otherwise there will be another. Everyone will make excuses for the bad things they have done.

Shylock

Oh! Smart judge, I really admire you!

Portia

Please show me this bond.

Shylock

Here it is.

Portia

Sherlock, they are willing to pay three times as much.

Shylock

No, I swear to God, even if they give me the whole Venice, I won't accept it!

Portia

Ok, let's do as agreed. According to the law; You have the right to cut a pool of meat from his chest. Have mercy, take the money and let me tear up the guarantee.

Shylock

No, it's never too late to tear up the contract after he is punished.

Antonio

Give me a verdict.

Portia

You must prepare your chest for his knife.

Shylock

Ah, what an outstanding young judge.

Portia

So, show your chest.

Shylock

Yes! By comparison, it's near his heart!

Portia

Here's the thing. Is there a scale for weighing meat here?

Shylock

Yes, I'm ready.

Portia

You should send for a surgeon in case you bleed to death.

Shylock

Is there a stipulation in our contract?

Portia

This is not to say that you can do a good deed to get pity.

Shylock

I can't find this! I don't think so!

Portia

You, businessman, do you have anything to say?

Antonio

I have nothing to say. I'm going to die. Friends, give me your hand: goodbye.

Bassanio

Antonio, I married a wife. She is as precious to me as life. But my life, my wife and the whole world are not as important as you.

Greciano

I have a wife, I protest, I love her. I hope she is in heaven, so that she can. Begging for some strength to change this cruel man.

Nerissa

Fortunately, she is not here, otherwise she would go crazy.

We are wasting time: please pass judgment.

Portia

The pound of meat on that poor businessman is yours, and the court will award it to you.

Shylock

A fair and honest judge!

Portia

You can cut a big piece of meat from his chest. But not a drop of blood is allowed. If you shed a drop of blood, your land and property will belong to Venice.

Greciano

Ah, an honest judge! Oh, learned judge!

Shylock

Is this the law?

Portia

You can watch the show. You ask for justice, and then I will give it to you. More than you asked.

Greciano

Oh, learned judge! A learned judge!

Shylock

Then I will accept their repayment; 6000 pounds

Bassanio

Here is the money.

Portia

Soft! Shylock will get all justice; Soft! Don't worry:

Greciano

Oh, Jews! An upright judge, a learned judge!

Portia

You should be ready to cut the meat, no bleeding, no more cutting and no less cutting. It's just a beach of meat

Greciano

The second Daniel, a Daniel, Sherlock! Now, infidel, I got you.

Portia

Why did Sherlock stop? Pick up your knife and cut the meat.

Shylock

Give me back my capital and let me go!

Bassanio

I am ready for you; Here it is.

Portia

He refused in an open court, and all he got was justice and his contract.

Greciano

A Daniel, or me, the second Daniel! I thank you. Sherlock, thank you for teaching me this word.

Shylock

I'll just take my capital? Can't you?

Portia

You have nothing but justice.

Shylock

Well, let the devil bless him and enjoy it! I quit this case!

Portia

Wait a minute, Sherlock You are involved in another case. According to the law of Venice, if someone wants to murder someone. In a direct or indirect way, half of your property will belong to the victim. The rest will belong to the country. Your life is in Duke's hands. So you're in danger now. Ask his forgiveness.

Greciano

Please leave and hang yourself. Your wealth will belong to the country.

duke

Let you see the difference between our spirits. I forgive you for asking before. Half of your wealth is Antonio's. The other half is normal.

Portia

Yes, for the country, not for Antonio.

Shylock

No, take my life and property with me, okay? I don't need your pity!

Portia

What pity can you give him, Antonio?

Greciano

For god's sake, one rope is enough.

Antonio

So please the duke and all the courts

Cancel the fine for half the goods. The other half is used after his death, for the gentleman who recently stole his daughter. He is now a Christian. If he does all this, I will give the content.

duke

He must do so, or I will cancel the decision.

Portia

Sherlock: Do you have anything to say? Are you satisfied?

Shylock

I am very satisfied.

Portia

Clerk, sign a gift contract.

Shylock

Please allow me to leave the court. I don't feel well. Send the verdict to my home and I'll sign it.

duke

You can go, but don't forget to sign your name.

Greciano

At the baptism, you will have two godfathers. If I were a judge, you would be hanged.
