Question

describe the fear of antonio and portia and the different forms of amusement in the opening scenes (merchant of Venice)​

Answer 1

Fear of Antonio and Portia and different forms of amusement in opening scenes:

 In the first scene, Antonio looks depressing and fears about his investment on the cargo. Portia loves Bassanio already and dreads about his selection of the right casket.

Lorenzo proves his witty nature and humour sense when Gratiano quotes about those who speak less and act intelligently. Antonio says that the world is a stage; he acts on a sad role when Gratiano inquires about his sadness.
