Shylock highlights the hypocrisy of the Venetian court by drawing parallels between his mistreatment by Antonio and the broader societal discrimination faced by Jews. He argues that just as he is subjected to prejudice and derision, the Venetians, including Antonio, have historically mistreated him and his people. Shylock's insistence on seeking justice through a bond reflects his desire for equal treatment, challenging the moral integrity of a system that claims to uphold justice while perpetuating inequality. This comparison ultimately underscores the theme of vengeance versus mercy within the play.

Shylock, a Jewish moneylender in "The Merchant of Venice," harbors a deep resentment towards Antonio due to past grievances, including Antonio's public disdain for Shylock's profession and his practice of lending without interest, which undermines Shylock's business. Shylock views Antonio's charitable actions as hypocritical, especially since they contrast with Antonio's treatment of him. Consequently, if Antonio helps others, it could intensify Shylock's feelings of bitterness and alienation, as he perceives it as further evidence of Antonio's moral superiority and societal acceptance, which Shylock is denied.
Because the process of getting it will have the effect of killing Antonio, which Shylock wants to gain revenge for the mistreatment he has suffered from Antonio and all the other anti-Semitic Venetians. The flesh itself is of no use to Shylock--when he is asked what good it would be, Shylock replies tersely "To bait fish withal."

Badly. Shylock, like many Jews, was forced into moneylending as a way of making money, because it was illegal for Jews to enter into kinds of commerce that involved ownership of substantial assets. At the same time as the Christians used his services, they held him and all the other Jews in contempt. He specifically mentions that Antonio had spit on him and called him a dog, and we see this to be true, as he calls him "devil" as in "the devil can quote Scripture to his own purpose." At the end of the play he is treated abominably. On the pretext that he is a "foreigner" in the city where he has lived his whole life, his money is taken from him and given to his goyische and feckless son-in-law, and he is forced to renounce his religion and practise Christianity. No wonder he leaves on the line "I am not well."
