Scene Eight Merchant of Venice

Scene Eight
What double disaster has struck Shylock?
His daughter ran away, with a christian, and took some of his money and jewels.

Where did Shylock think Lorenzo & Jessica might be?
On Bassanio’s ship. (The villain Jew with outcries raised the Duke, Who went with him to search Bassanio’s ship.)


How did Bassanio and Antonio part?
With a short conversation and an affectionate handshake

What is the first suggestion of trouble for Antonio? Find a quote that tells you this.
Salarino says “in the narrow seas that part the French and English, there miscarried a vessel of our country richly fraught. I thought upon Antonio when he told me, And wished in silence that it were not his.” This means there was a sunken boat from Venice and he hopes it wasn’t Antonio’s
