The merchant of Venice教案
c: bring the baby here. (a servant takes deborah’s baby and brings it to the king.) i am a just king. i do not know whose baby this is, i do not know if this is deborah’s baby. but i must be just to each of you. i will take this baby and cut it into two halves. then sarah can have half of the baby, and deborah can have half.
d: yes, yes, the king is a good king. cut the baby in halves.
sa: but the baby will die!
c: yes, the baby will die. but you shall each have one half of the baby. so you will not quarrel any more.
sa: o king! save my baby. do not cut the baby. give the baby to deborah. let the baby live.
c: give the baby to sarah. sarah wants the baby to live. so i know that sarah is the mother. deborah is a bad woman. she took deborah away.
(two men took deborah away.)
e: the king is a just king. o good king charles! clever king charles!
