Summary The scene opens as Shylock and Bassanio negotiate the terms of the loan. Bassanio requests a three-month loan for three thousand ducats for which Antonio is to be the guarantor. Bassanio invites Shylock to dine with them but he refuses for fear of infringing rules of kosher. Antonio enters. Shylock says, aside, that he hates Antonio because he is Christian, and because he lends money with no interest which takes business away from Venetian moneylenders. In addition, Antonio is anti-Semitic and talks shit about Jews, and doesn't think usury is a legitimate occupation. Shylock will lend money from a Jewish friend to complete the loan. Antonio says he usually does not borrow or lend with interest but is willing to make an exception for a friend, out of necessity. There is a lot of tension between Antonio and Shylock. Shylock tells Antonio off for being rude to him and says that he doesn't deserve to be lent money. Antonio replies that lending him money would not be a frien
