How easy is it to sympathise for Antonio in Act 4 Scene 1 of The Merchant of Venice?

Pretty darn easy, at least at the beginning of the scene. Antonio is about to have his heart cut out, without anaesthetic, just because he couldn't pay a debt on time. He's prepared to pay it late, he's prepared to pay it with 200% interest or more, but Shylock isn't interested. Even if you know that Shylock's real motive is to pay Antonio back for being a nasty anti-Semite, his attempted revenge is way over the top. After we know Antonio to be safe, however, he becomes less sympathetic, and we start to feel sorry for Shylock who is punished for daring to use the legal system of Venice when he is a Jew by having all of his money taken away along with his right to practice his religion. That's way over the top too.
