Act 2 scene 6

  Are with more spirit chasèd than enjoyed.

• So are you, sweet,

  Even in the lovely garnish of a boy

  Lorenzo - sibilance
• For I am much ashamed of my exchange.


  Jessica - half-rhyme, Elizabethan audience would see this as wearing men’s clothe, modern undertone of shame of leaving father
• I will make fast the doors, and gild myself

  With some moe ducats


  Jessica - mirrors Shylock’s language
• ‘wise’ ‘fair’ ‘true’

  ‘wise, fair, and true’


  Lorenzo - triplication, repetition
