The Jew of Malta Act 3, Scene 1 Summary
Enter Bellamira, the local prostitute.She's upset because ever since the Turks started threatening Malta, business has been slow.
People evidently don't feel too frisky when they're under threat of attack.
Her pimp, Pilia-Borza (which is a pimp-sounding name, no?) comes in and shows her a bag of silver, which he says he stole from Barabas's house.
Looks like Barabas is back in business, and they're going to figure out a way to get at his money.
They spot Ithamore and hide the silver.
Ithamore glimpses Bellamira, and is immediately stuck by her extreme hotness.
But he's admirably goal-oriented, so he continues on todeliver the faked letter and trick Lodowick and Mathias into killing each other.
