Answer:

Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice features a character named Bassanio.

Explanation:

  • Bassanio serves as an important catalyst all through the Merchant of Venice, setting into motion a great deal of the drama.
  • Bassanio is a pleasant young man, but he has got himself into financial trouble by initially living beyond his means. He plans to wed a wealthy heiress in order to pay off his debts, but before that, he must court Portia in the fashion she expects.
  • Despite his assertion that Portia likes him, Bassanio's reckless nature is on display in his decision to gamble on this plan of action. Bassanio takes chances on love and lust while men like Antonio try to make money through commerce and trade.
  • When Portia develops feelings for him, his faith is vindicated. When faced with the mystery of the caskets, Bassanio makes a prudent decision notwithstanding the apparent financial impulsiveness.
  • Gold and silver coffins don't impress him because "the world is still deceived with ornament," he says. Since Bassanio was able to decipher the puzzle, he clearly has potential as a suitor for Portia.
