"I think he only loves the world for him." act 2. sc. 8 line 52
I like this quote because I feel that it shows a repeated motif in the play, being full of oneself. This is mostly shown through the the caskets but this line also brings that idea to light and shows how the characters in this play really lack the ability to care about people other than themselves.
Antonio: "Who's there?"
Gratiano "Signior Antonio?"
Act 2 sc 7
I like this quote because it reminds me of the beginning of Hamlet and questioning peoples identities. Identity is another large part of this play because characters dress up and pretend to be other people.
