1. Act 2, Scene 3. "I am sorry thou wilt leave my father so. Our house is hell, and thou, a merry devil"
-Jessica
I chose this quote because the fact that Jessica, Shylocks own daughter, was saying her father made the house hell was funny. She was apologizing for her father being a devil which is comical.
2. Act 2, Scene 7. "All that glisters is not gold-"
This was on the scroll that Morocco read after choosing the Gold Casket. He tried sweet talking Portia by saying that she was a gem and should not be placed in worse than gold, hence choosing the gold casket. The first line he reads makes a mockery of his reasoning. I chose this because it made me laugh. I can picture a guy trying to use a pickup line like this and being shut down by the words exactly opposite of his.
