MERCHANT OF VENICE ACT III SCENE 1 1. What is Rialto? A.The Rialto is the Stock Exchange or Chamber of Commerce. The Venetian merchants met here for the transaction of business. 2. What information does Salarino give Salanio? A. Salarino informs Salanio that there is a report still uncontradicted that one of Antonio s ships, with valuable cargo, has been wrecked at Goodwins in the waters of the English channel. 3. What are the Goodwins? A. The Goodwins is the extensive sand-bank off the coast of Kent, near the mouth of the Thames in England. This place has been the scene of many shipwrecks. 4. Explain: if my gossip Report be an honest woman of her word. A. In the above lines rumour has been personified as an old woman, Dame Rumour. The above line means that if report or rumour (which is generally false news) should be correct this time, then Antonio s ship has been wrecked on the Goodwin Sands. 5. What does Salanio wish? A. Salanio wished that Dame Report might prove to be as big a liar in this case as any old woman whoever ate the ginger or told people that the death of her third husband had broken her heart. 6. Why does Salanio wish to say amen quickly? A. When Salarino expresses the wish that Antonio should have no further losses, Salanio wishes to say amen quickly before the devil has time to interfere and prevent it. 7. Who appears just then? What does Salanio remark? A. Just then Shylock is seen approaching. So, Salanio remarks that his worst fears are realised, because the devil is appproaching in the form of the Jew, Shylock. According to an old superstition, a prayer would lose its effect if the devil crossed the path before the prayer was finished. So, on seeing Shylock coming, Salanio pretends that Shylock is the devil and ends the prayer with amen . 8. What does Shylock accuse Salanio and Salarino of when he entered the scene? A. Shylock accuses them of knowing very well, better than anyone that his daughter has fled. 9. What is Salarino s reply? A. Salarino replies that he is quite right. In fact, he was well acquainted with the tailor who made the clothes in which she ran away with her lover. 10. What does Salanio tell Shylock about his daughter?
