Furthermore in act 3 scene 3 Shylock has been shown to be harsh as he wants to stick to his bond as Antonio failed to pay shylocks 3000 ducats, however the judge has let Antonio out of prison to even discuss this matter and if shylock was to own Antonio this much money a pound of his flesh would have already been taken from him. This shows discrimination as hey are favoring Antonio by letting him out of jail to try and convince shylock to change his mind. We see this when shylock says  “ill have my bond; I will not hear thee speak:
I’ll have my bond; and therefore speak no more, I’ll not be made a soft and dull-eyed fool,To shake the head, relent, and sigh, and yield To Christian intercessors. Follow not;
‘ll have no speaking: I will have my bond.”
