From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every act of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
Shylock asks, “On what compulsion must I?” and Portia answers that “The quality of mercy is not strain’d”: it cannot be forced, and it blesses the one who gives and the one who takes. Underline each condition laid on the mercy Shylock receives at the end of the trial. Is it mercy by her own measure?
