Shylock was a miser – the best known money lender in Venice. He was not liked by the people, because he was a hard man who demanded a high rate of interest and showed no mercy to those who could not pay back the money borrowed from him. Now Shylock hated Antonio, partly because Antonio showed dislike for Shylock’s hard character but chiefly because Antonio himself often lent money without asking any interest on it and that of course, spoiled Shylock’s business. So Shylock waited for the day when he could harm Antonio. Not knowing that Shylock hated him in this way, Antonio went with his friend Bassanio to borrow three thousand ducats. ‘I shall be able to pay it back with interest.’ said Antonio to Shylock, ‘as soon as my ships come to port.’
