Neither Bassanio nor Antonio can repay Shylock in time, so Shylock goes to court to demand a pound of Antonio’s flesh. Portia disguises herself as a lawyer and judges the case. She urges Shylock to show mercy, and Bassanio offers to pay twice the amount owed on the spot, or ten times the amount sometime in the future. But Shylock can’t be convinced to change his mind. Portia admits that according to the contract, Antonio must give up a pound of his flesh. But, at the last minute, she finds a loophole. What do you think this loophole is?
