Answer 2

Act 1, Scene 1

Antonio is speaking to his friends, Salerio and Solanio. He explains that a sadness has come over him, and his friends suggest that the sadness could be due to his worrying about his commercial ventures. He has ships at sea with merchandise in them and they could be vulnerable. Antonio says he is not worried about his ships because his goods are spread between them—if one went down, he would still have the others. His friends suggest that he must then be in love, but Antonio denies this.
