Answer:
In the story there are characters Bassanio, Gratiano and Antonio. At this part in the story Antonio tells Gratiano that he is but a player on stage, destined to play a sad part.
Antonio asks Bassanio to tell him about the clandestine love that Bassanio is harboring.
Bassanio says that he has fallen in love with Portia, a rich heiress from Belmont.Furthermore, he says he needs to borrow more money from Antonio. Antonio says no because all his money is tied up in his present business ventures, but offers to guarantee any loan Bassanio can round up.
In the next scene Portia's father is dead with a will that stipulates, she cannot decide for herself whether to take a husband. Instead those men must go through a test of choosing from certain coffins.
The scene 1 rounds up why Bassanio must go to Belmont for he admits here that he is in love with Portia.
