: After Antonio's trial was over what did the court say Shylock had to give? Was it half of his estate to Antonio and the rest to his daughter? Then it would be dropped if he became a Christian? : HELP!!! I need this for a book report and I cannot remember the answer.
Half of the estate to "the general coffer, which humbleness may drive unto a fine" and half to his SON-IN-LAW for Jessica's care and maintenance. And on top of that, he had to become a Christian. "The Jew shall have all justice" -- boy, howdy. The rules you live by are the rules you'll die by.
