Solution
First, the Duke asked Shylock to show mercy towards Antonio. Shylock was not ready to do so. Then a young lawyer entered the court to fight Antonio's case. The lawyer appealed to Shylock's sense of mercy. Shylock refused to give in. Then the lawyer told Shylock to go ahead and cut off a pound of Antonio's flesh, but without shedding a drop of blood. Also, he should cut exactly one pound of flesh - nothing less, nothing more. Shylock realized that he could not do what the young lawyer asked him to do and accepted defeat. Thus Antonio was saved.
