- Abstract:
- The courtroom scene from Act 4, Scene 1 of Merchant of Venice when Portia reminds Shylock that the bond only allows him a pound of flesh, and makes no allowances for blood. Shylock, standing with a knife in his right hand and scales in his right, registers the disappointment and shock in his expression as he stands before Portia disguised as Balthasar, holding the bond. They are flanked by Antonio and Bassanio. In the background, the judge sits at his bench, his finger to his forehead. Below the title, Portia's lines: Have by some surgeon, Shylock, on your charge to stop his wounds lest he should bleed to death. Followed by Shylock's lines: Is it so nominated in the bond?
