thereās this one speech in a merchant of Venice where Shylock is crashing out and and saying stuff like āwhen you prick us [jews], do we not bleed? When you tickle us, do we not laugh?ā And tbh if I bet if Jean ever hears that speech itāll be a life altering moment.
To bait fish withal. [this part is about what Shylock is gonna do with the pound of Antonioās flesh around his heart, if Antonio canāt pay the debt] if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. He hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million; laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies, and whatās his reason? I am a Jew. [ in Jeans case a Moreau] Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed?Ā If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.-Act 3 scene 1
