Solution
The young lawyer requested Shylock to show mercy, though the law was on Shylock's side. The lawyer pleaded that mercy is a quality of God himself. When a person shows mercy to someone else, they are both blessed. Mercy was more valuable than a king's crown. When the lawyer saw that Shylock would not change his mind, the lawyer told Shylock to cut off a pound of Antonio's flesh. But the lawyer warned that while cutting, Shylock should not shed even a drop of Antonio's blood. Also, he should cut exactly one pound of flesh - nothing less, nothing more.
