Question

Antonio
Well, Shylock, shall we be beholding to you?
Shylock
Signior Antonio, many a time and oft
In the Rialto you have rated me
About my moneys and my usances:
Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,
For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe;
You call me misbeliever, cut-throat dog,
And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine,
And for all use of that which is mine own.
Why is the need for Antonio to borrow money from his enemy?​

Answer 1

Answer:

He had to give the money to his beloved friend Bassasino.
