because he will do anything for his friend
He proposes this penalty when Antonio is negotiating the loan from him, in Act 1 Scene 3, around line 148.
The phrase "pound of flesh" appears in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 6:7, where Paul writes, "Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?" Paul is trying to combat the idea of demanding one's "pound of flesh" and instead argues that love "keeps no record of wrongs". He also says that it's better to be cheated than to be unloving, and that Jesus Christ's death on the cross is an example of this type of love.
In Act 3, Scene 1 of "The Merchant of Venice," Shylock receives the news that Antonio's ships have reportedly sunk, which means he is unable to repay the loan. This news brings Shylock a sense of vindication and hope for reclaiming his bond, as he now sees an opportunity to enforce his claim for a pound of flesh. Shylock feels a mix of satisfaction and anticipation, believing that Antonio's misfortune will allow him to assert his rights and seek justice.
In "The Merchant of Venice," foreshadowing is evident in several key moments, such as the ominous conversation between Antonio and Bassanio in Act 1, where Antonio's melancholy hints at his impending troubles. Additionally, Shylock's insistence on the pound of flesh as collateral foreshadows the dramatic conflict that arises later in the trial scene. The three caskets' challenge also subtly hints at the themes of choice and destiny that unfold throughout the play.
