Definitions

A pound of flesh refers to a demand for a strict and literal fulfillment of a contract or obligation, often in a way that is harsh or cruel. The phrase originates from Shakespeare's play 'The Merchant of Venice,' where it symbolizes the idea of exacting a penalty without regard for mercy or compassion.
