your Question
Write a brief account of the manner in which Bassanio asks Antonio for a loan, and the light it throws upon his character.
so
As was mentioned in the previous post, Bassanio has squandered his money and asks Antonio for a loan in order to travel to Belmont to win Portia's hand in marriage. Portia is a wealthy heiress who is bound to her father's will. Many suitors from around the world travel to Belmont in hopes of marrying Portia. Bassanio understands that he will need money to outfit ships, buy various gifts that will impress Portia, and compete with the other suitors. Unfortunately, he does not have the money to do so which is why he asks his close friend, Antonio, for a loan. Antonio is a wealthy merchant who agrees to finance Bassanio's journey to Belmont. Antonio is a gracious, loving friend who selflessly loans Bassanio money, even though his investments are tied up overseas. Antonio then borrows money from Shylock to give to Bassanio. The conflict is created when Antonio's investments do not return on time and he is forced to forfeit on Shylock's loan. Unfortunately, Antonio agreed to give a pound of flesh to Shylock if he was not able to pay back the loan. Shylock and Antonio end up going to court over the forfeiture and Antonio fortunately wins the case.
