Please spend the time to develop at least a paragraph response for each prompt and use textual details to support and illustrate your points. Use parenthetical documentation identifying the act, scene and line (s); for example (I. ii. ll. 5-15).
Send the study guide responses via Canvas, through the ASSIGNMENT MODULE created, as an attachment, which opened on 7/14 (listed under “Study Guides” then click Study Guide: Shakespeare, MOV). Label the document file, not only the subject line, as LastNameStudyGuideMOV.docx (example: LeongStudyGuideMOV.docx). You should upload it as a Word document not a pdf.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
The trial. Is this a just court? How do you perceive Venetian law?
Compare the rhetoric of Shylock and Antonio.
Why is Gratiano in this scene, acting as he does?
Relate Portia’s speech to the whole play. Is she merciful? Is anyone? How?
Shylock pursues what kind of justice?
Why does Portia pursue Shylock so far?
How, in detail, does Shylock leave the court? How would you stage his exit if you were the director?
Why doesn’t the play end here?
