Answers
Answer:
1.The relationship between Nerissa and Gratiano is a good deal more traditional than that between Bassanio and Portia. In keeping with the prevailing standards of the time, Gratiano is the dominant partner in the relationship, whereas Nerissa is generally demure and submissive. At the same time, there is undoubtedly great love between them, though it's noticeable that their decision to marry is dependent on Bassanio choosing the correct casket and so being able to marry Portia. Once he does so, however, Gratiano wastes no time in getting hitched to Nerissa.
Answer:
1. The relationship between Nerissa and Gratiano is a good deal more traditional than that between Bassanio and Portia.
2.Tidings is an old-fashioned word for recent news. If someone says "I bring you good tidings!" it means they have information to share that you'll probably like.
3.Bassanio has chosen correctly the leaden casket and has won the hand of Portia.
4.Essentially, Shylock wants Antonio's flesh to satisfy his revenge and punish Antonio for the numerous times the merchant has wronged him. The reason he actually gives in demanding it is "to bait fish withal". Shylock wants to use Antonio's flesh as fish bait--though one rather hopes we are to take him with some irony!
5.Portia manages to save Antonio from Shylock collecting on his bond by disguising herself as a male doctor and cleverly finding a loophole in the law that prevents Shylock from harming Antonio.
6.Antonio's letter to Bassanio in The Merchant of Venice explains his dire situation regarding the loss of his merchant ships and the inevitable forfeiture of his bond. The letter also states that Shylock grows cruel and that Antonio wishes to see Bassanio before he dies.
