 Studying the Merchant of Venice? Here's how you can analyse that to scene 8. The scene opens with Solorino and Solonio mocking Shylock who freaked out when he realised that his daughter Jessica had escaped. Solonio speaks using these exclamatory sentences to show that Shylock seemed more upset at using his money than his daughter. Solorino speaks using repetition here. We can see that everybody in Venice is mocking Shylock and this alludes to the theme of prejudice where Shylock is being mistreated by society because he's Jewish. They then think about their friend Antonio and they consider recent news that a Venetian ship with lots of things that were on board to sell has crashed. They're really scared that it might be Antonio's ship. They then consider how generous Antonio is because he took out a huge loan from Shylock to help Bessonio as he is seducing Portia. Solonio speaks in this hyperbole saying that Antonio adores Bessonio. He is more than happy to take loans for him as he really cares about him.
