Answer:
Shylock
Shylock is an obvious candidate to be the play's antagonist, as he's the dark character who is inarguably on the fringes of the society. He motivates the main conflict in the plot about the debt, and he is immovable on the point of wanting Antonio's flesh rather than monetary compensation. Shylock also openly admits to hating Antonio, as he is a Christian and also bad for business. When Shylock leaves the play, Bassanio's romance with Portia has mostly been sealed, so Shylock was the last meaningful conflict to be resolved. (The ring affair is negligible: Portia jests before Act 5 that it will be a fun source of jokes on the men.)
