merchant of venice : what does antonia say about his ship?
Answers
Antonio is not worried about his ships. It is so because his ventures are not limited to one ship or to one place. Moreover, his financial status does not depend on the business transaction of only this year. Strangely, later when his ships are reported to have perished, he goes totally bankrupt and has nothing left to pay back his loan.
Explanation:
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.
