Explanation:

Bassanio refuses to let Antonio take the punishment for his debts and wants to step in and take his place. But Antonio responds to Bassanio’s declaration that he won’t allow such an action. He views himself as the weakest man in this situation and that he should be the one to die. This declaration reveals Antonio's selfless character.

Antonio speaks to Bassanio about his impending death and asks him not to grieve his death. He is an optimist and looks for a positive outcome even in dire situations. He explains his condition to Bassanio to rid him of any guilt that his friend might feel upon his death.
