Answer:

Bassanio has to do little to persuade his friend for money. Antonio is already more than willing to lend him. This proves Antonio's selflessness and that he considers Bassanio a brother. Another proof of Antonio and Bassanio's deep friendship comes in scene 3 of Act 1 when the two are before Shylock for a loan.

Answer:

Antonio and bassanio are very close

friends who have a great deal of loyalty to one another. They are both well-respected members of Venetian society. That being said, it is worth noting that their relationship is not entirely an equal one. Antonio is a rich and successful merchant, whereas Bassanio is regularly faced with financial difficulties (which he is trying to escape from). It is this context that shapes much of The Merchant of Venice's plot.

With that in mind, there is an element to which Antonio is both a friend and patron to Bassanio, and Bassanio himself is reliant upon his friend's continued generosity. That being said, you should not underestimate the strength of their relationship: Antonio takes on significant personal and financial risk for Bassanio's sake. Bassanio, as the play begins, seeks to marry the heiress Portia, and to do so, he goes to Antonio, requesting to borrow funds to assist him in this goal. However, at this point, all of Antonio's resources are tied up in various commercial ventures, leaving him unable to support his friend. For this reason, Antonio borrows the money from Shylock (a loan which includes potentially fatal consequences for Antonio himself).

Meanwhile, Bassanio returns Antonio's genuine friendship and loyalty. Note that when he receives news of Antonio's plight, he drops everything else to be at Antonio's side. While it is ultimately Portia's intervention that saves Antonio, the depth of their friendship and mutual regard should not be underestimated.
