Question

Answer the following questions:
(a) How did the fortune of the merchant change?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The text of The Merchant of Venice indicates that Antonio doesn't change at all through the course of the play. In this regard, the literary element of character change would be antithetically

presented in a staunchly unchanging character who holds fast to errors despite drastic situations that call for a change of character. One instance of Antonio's errors, which are derived from his character traits, is the fact that he seems to actually lie in the opening scene

when he tells Salarino and Salanio that his wealth is not all in one venture nor dependent upon the financial success of that one year.

--there were two merchant in the drama

namely Shylock and Antonio ..

and both the mecrhant 's fortune changed drastically through out the play ..
