The importance of the opening scene of The Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare is that it establishes the closeness of the relationship between Antonio and Bassanio. It's also important for telling us how much Bassanio yearns to have Portia's hand in marriage. These two factors, when taken together, explain why Antonio is prepared to engage in such a deadly bargain with Shylock, a bargain that threatens to cost him his life.
