| Lest the devil cross my prayer, for here comes in the likeness of a jew | Solanio |
| She is damn’d for it | Shylock |
| Let him look to his bond! He was wont to call me usurer, let him look to his bond! He was wont to lend money for a Christians cur’sy, let him look to his bond. | Shylock, 40 |
| To bait fish withal,-if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge; he hath disgraced me , and hind’red 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. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with 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? If we are like in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrongs a Christian, what is his humility? revenge! if a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why revenge! The villany you teach me I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction. | Shylock, 55-65 |
| I’ll plague him, I’ll torture him. | Shylock, 105 |
| It was my turquoise, i had of Leah when I was a bachelor. I would not have given it for a wilderness of monkeys. | Shylock, 110 |
