Antonio's trial is the climax of the play, having entered into a usury agreement with Shylock on behalf of Bassanio when Antonio has been imprisoned. Shylock can claim a pound of Antonio's flesh, intends to claim his heart upon forfeiture, thereby killing Antonio.
At that time Portia and her serving woman, Nerissa disguised themselves as men to intervene in the trial. Portia becomes Balthasar and argues that Shylock ought to have mercy for Antonio.
