köpmannen i venedig b 2 48_cc.jpg - The courtroom in Venice where the Duke is going to judge Antonio. Shylock and Antonio are in the center. Antonio has received the good news that his ships are safe. Portia arrives "dressed like a doctor of laws." This spurious 'doctor of laws' (in the very center), makes her judgment. Since the "bond doth give thee here no jot of blood;" Shylock can not have the pound of Antonio's flesh that is stated in the bond. Shylock has lost but is in the end spared death and the loss of his assets. However, he must become a Christian.
