 Studying the Merchant of Venice, here's how you can analyse that three scene three. The scene opens with Antonio in jail and he is with his jailer who's accompanying him. Sherlock speaks to the jailer in this imperative sentence to tell him not to show Antonio any mercy as he detains him. It's clear Antonio doesn't want to be here, he's really terrified and he begs Sherlock for mercy. Sherlock refuses to listen to him and he speaks using repetition of volunteer to show that he only wants to get a pound of Antonio's flesh given that Antonio has been unable to pay him back his debt. Sherlock uses this metaphor to remind Antonio of all the times he used to be horrible and racist to him and he's now saying that he has his chance to exact revenge. Sherlock is really confident that the Duke of Venice will enforce Venice's law or following the contracts. He's confident that the Duke will let him get a pound of his flesh. Remember that this was a time when Venice was an international trading centre and it was really famous for always honouring all contracts that people made. Antonio continues to beg Sherlock for mercy and he speaks here using caesura to try to see if Sherlock will soften towards him. Yet Sherlock refuses to listen, he speaks using caesura and iambit pentameter to say that he's not going to forgive Antonio, he will take a pound of his flesh. Once Sherlock storms out, Salarino, Antonio's friend, insults Sherlock and tries to make Antonio feel better. Yet Antonio does not feel any better and he says that another reason why Sherlock hates him is because he used to save people who own debt to Sherlock by paying off the debts which used to irritate Sherlock. Antonio is certain that the Duke will agree for Sherlock to take a pound of his flesh according to the contract because he says that if the Duke changes this then this will be a problem with other foreigners. Remember that lending is a major business in Venice that can't be taken lightly. If this contract was broken it would send a really bad message to other foreign investors who wouldn't use Venice to trade. Antonio then speaks in this exclamatory sentence basically hoping that Bessonio will come in time for the trial and he'll be able to see his best friend one last time before he dies.
