Shylock, a character in Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice," is angry primarily due to the mistreatment and prejudice he faces as a Jewish moneylender in a predominantly Christian society. He feels wronged by Antonio, who publicly insults and undermines him, and is frustrated by the loss of his wealth and dignity. This anger fuels his desire for revenge, particularly when he demands a pound of flesh as collateral for a loan, reflecting both personal grievances and broader societal injustices.
