-
And why is he so angry?
-
Because among other things his daughter Jessica has run off
-
with a Christian named Lorenzo and stolen his money.
-
And so he yells, "My daughter,
-
my ducats."
-
So she sold his wife's ring for a monkey
-
or his ring that was given to him by his wife Leah.
-
And he says, "I had it of Leah when I
-
was a bachelor.
-
I would not have given it for a wilderness of monkeys."
-
So Shylock believes in keeping his promise.
-
He would never have broken a promise.
