Act II - Scene 5 Extract 1 Answer 1. Shylock accepts the invitation to dinner out of hatred and to eat the food of the extravagant Christian, Bassanio. Earlier in the play, when Bassanio invites him for dinner, he refuses to dine with Christians since they were pork-eaters. He asserted then that he would never eat, drink or pray with Christians although he is ready to do business with them. Answer 2.
