Answer:
The Merchant of Venice is one of the most popular Shakespearean play. It is greatly based on the theme of friendship.
Explanation:
- Bassanio and Antonio are depicted as the best of friends. Their friendship sets an example of loyalty in the world of literature. At the same time their friendship is all subject to a lot of critical views and objections from scholars and critics.
- Many regard Bassanio to be more of a villain than a true friend. It is because of Bassanio that Antonio's life was at stake in the hands of the usurer- Shylock.
- Hadn't Bassanio been so demanding then Antonio would not have had to borrow the three thousand ducats from Shylock. Bassanio might have had a lot of faults but he was a man of weak character not a villain.
- He never meant ill. He loved Antonio dearly. It was his love for Antonio that just as a child demands objects of its liking from its parents, that Bassanio demanded so much from Antonio.
- Unlike a villain, Bassanio had no malice towards Antonio. He was just a frivolous, light headed person but definitely not a villain.
