Leah, Shylock's wife in Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice," gave him her love and loyalty, but she also brought him a dowry. In the play, it is noted that she was not particularly valued by Shylock, who often focuses more on his wealth than on personal relationships. Leah's death left Shylock with a sense of loss, but he primarily mourned the loss of her money rather than her companionship.

To Shylock, the ring is not just a piece of jewelry; it embodies loyalty and the bond of family. The act of selling it for a frivolous item like a monkey feels like a betrayal and an insult to his values and heritage.

What did the Duke do to help Shylock?

Not a dang thing. He went out of his way not only to thwart Shylock's revenge, but to take his money and give it to his useless son-in-law, and finally to ensure that Shylock's soul was damned, all on the basis that because Shylock was Jewish he wasn't entitled to the benefit of the law like the Christians were. The Duke didn't do this earlier because he was too dim to figure it out, until Portia told him what to do.
