Give a brief character sketch of Antonio with special reference to his melancholy word limit 1500 and above???
Answers
Antonio is a kind-hearted young man.
Antonio is a character in William Shakespeare's play 'The Merchant of Venice'
He is a kind young man who gives much value to friendship.
He is always in a melancholy mood and is not worried about anything.
He lends money to the poor without any interest.
This reveals his helping mentality.
He lends money to his best friend Bassanio.
When he asks for money for a second time, though Antonio didn't have enough money, he didn't disappoint him.
He asks Bassanio to lend money from Shylock on his behalf.
But there is also a bad side for Antonio, he shows racial discrimination.
He hates Shylock too much not only because he is greedy but also because he is a Jew.
He also lacks humor sense, because he laughs very rarely and is not even able to tell a joke.
