Plot and book response

i am not sure of where this plot is planning to take us but with the emotions expressed and secrets revealed hearts broken and characters uncovered this is tangled story, at least in my perspective since the author motives for some of the scenes and words used by the characters baffle me. im impressed to how stuck up peter is and how he sees nothing wrong with whatever he says without hit daughter annie butting in. for example with last nights reading to page 84 when he says "you might one day be fit to work on my own personal time keeper" or something along those lines. i feel annie was a important character in the scene where she touches owens "precious" creation because of her coming we find out about the secret obtion of recreation to nature thats been talked about since the beginning. the relationship between owen and annie is a strange one because its not clear whether she likes owen or not, although she gives strong hints like coming to a watch makers shop just to fix a thing used to protect her from needles and recollects on their childhood.

Merchant of venice

 Shylock motives are unclear to me because his hate for Christians is clear as glass but really its humorous how he explains to Jessica what to do when she hears the music. really he blows it out of proportions, first with his comment  on the Christians food "but still ill go in hate ,to eat the wasteful Christians food" and then with the don't stick your head out and don't leave any windows open or doors open or unlocked, i don't want their noise in my house.

the relationship between Jessica and Lancelot was a little to pushy to me since he worked really hard to get Shylock to leave the house and soon after she says "a certain christian will come by worth the sight of a Jewess's eye" to me it seems like they are working together but in a unintentional way since Lancelot didn't make much hints at helping her. the conflict between the Jews and the Christians make the play interesting because allot of emotion run through these two ethnic groups, thought the fights do get ugly and make you side with the Jews due to all the abuse they face it still adds flavor to the story.
