Readers should look to act 2, scene 2 for information regarding this question. The scene opens up with Lancelot having a long conversation with himself. It is a serious conversation, but it is also quite funny because of how garbled his reasoning is. The topic of his conversation is whether or not he should quit his job working for Shylock. In general, Lancelot really does not like working for Shylock. He even accuses Shylock of being the devil incarnate. The problem for Lancelot is that his conscience will not let him just up and quit. That conscience is tied to the notion that he sees himself as a good, honest, and loyal person. Lancelot believes that leaving Shylock runs counter to that persona. Of course, Lancelot doesn't end up convincing himself to stay. He leaves Shylock.
