He Turns To His Merchant Friend, Antonio, Who Is Forced To Borrow From Shylock, A Jewish Moneylender. When Antonio's Business Falters, Repayment Becomes Impossible, And By The Terms Of The Loan Agreement, Shylock Is Able To Demand A Pound Of Antonio's Flesh. Portia Cleverly Intervenes, And All Ends Well (except Of Course For Shylock).
