The Merchant Of Venice

Act Two, Scene OneThis scene opens with the words ‘Mislike me not for my complexion’ Why does the Prince think Portia will have a problem with his complexion? Because the prince has dark skin and Portia has a lighter skin

Act 1 if  Antonio loses his gamble, he must forfeit a pound of flesh. What must Portia’s suitors give up if they fail to win her? A2S1 Line 37-42. Never marry anyone else

Portia tells the Prince of Morocco- ‘Yourself, renowned prince, then stood as fair as any comer I have looked on yet for my affection’ What does this mean? (if you’re unsure check sparknotes translation)

Shylock practices ‘usury’. Explain this in your own words? It's practising how to lend/give money.

Why do Shylock and Antonio hate each other?
Because of the religion they both have
