Question

In the Merchant of Venice, What is Shylock’s initial reaction to Launcelot’s leaving his service? I googled it many times, but I couldn't find the answer!

Thanks!

Answer 1

Again, try reading the play, as you were assigned to do. The answer is there!

Find the play here and then find the act and scene you need -- or better yet, read the whole play. You'll find Shakespeare's English in the left column and modern-day English in the right column for each scene.

Answer 3

Shylock says that the difference between him and Bassanio is in treating people. he says in his house Launcelot over eats but the main reason for leaving Shylocks service is the allegation that Shylock hardly gave him anything to eat.
