"How like a fawining innkeeper he looks! I hate him because he is a Christian. But worse because he humbly lends out money free of charge, bringing down the rate of interest here in Venice. If I can catch him unawares, I'll pay off old scores very handsomely. He hates us Jews. In business circles, where the merchants meet, he denounces me, my deals, and my hard-earned profits, whjich he calls 'usury.' May my tribe be cursed if I forgive him!"

This quote is an example of which of the following?

Answer:

Simile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Merchant of Venice includes several examples of simile which made a more vivid play. For instance, when Shylock said “He is like a fawning inkeeper", he was actually comparing Anthony with a grovelling tax collector. From this quote we can concluded that Shylock‘s hatred towards Anthony was as equal as everybody’s hatred from ancient time towards tax collectors.
