Explanation:
Casket story and bond story are interrelated by Bassanio and his debt. If Bassan hadn't asked Antonio to give him debt so that he can go to Portia ,he would never had approached Shylock and the bond would never had been signed by him. So both stories are interrelated.......2 Antonio is the title character in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. An influential, powerful, and wealthy nobleman of Venice, he is a middle-aged man and a merchant by trade who has his financial interests tied up in overseas shipments when the play begins.
