How does Gratiano continue to reproach the 'seeming wise' men? What will happen if they begin to speak?
Answers
ANSWERS:
Gratiano has just told Antonio that he does not look well and that he is much too serious. He tells him that those who care too much about the world tend to lose the little they have. He says that Antonio does not look his old self.
In reply, Antonio tells him that his vision of the world is just that - it is the world and nothing more. It is a stage on which every man plays a part and his one is a sad role.
Gratiano suggests that if the world is as Antonio says, then he will play the part of a jester who will encourage laughter, causing faces to wrinkle. He would rather seek pleasure in wine and harm his liver than burden his heart with sad groans which could kill him.
HOPE IT IS HELPFUL FOR YOU.
