[ that last sentence does strike a chord within shylock. a girl who can't feel physical pain, but emotional ones... ]
I wanted to thank you for that night, Miss Monts. You may think that you haven't done anything of note at the time, but you did. Most people recognize that physical pain is excruciating, but emotional pain hurts just as much if not worse, because most of us would rather put those feelings aside rather than confront them head-on.
As for that incident, it was very painful for me. But I wouldn't want anyone to take away that feeling of pain from me, because it is all I have. Simple as that.
[ it's not that simple??? but shylock is never simple. he is delightfully complicated, but he tries his best in explaining what he thinks in layman's terms even if no one would understand anyway. ]
