how did grantiano try to cheer anthonio?what do you come to know about his personality from this act? merchant of venice

Answer 1

Answer:

Gratiano offers to cheer Antonio up much like the job of the jester or "fool." He suggests that Antonio should be more optimistic so that he will approach old age ("wrinkles... jaundice") "with mirth and laughter" (80). He suggests that it is better to enjoy life than worry about it.

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. He is kind, generous, honest and confident, and is loved and revered by all the Christians who know him, but not by the Jew Shylock. His willingness to die for Bassanio is a manifestation of his character. Antonio manifests anti-semitism by cursing and spitting at Shylock[1] (anti-semitism was common in Europe in Shakespeare's days). He is a structural centre of the play and whole play revolves around him.
