Answer:
Antonio is presented as a melancholic and passive character.
Explanation:
Antonio is presented as a whimsical person and he is not bothered about the consequences of his actions.
He also justifies his signing the bond agreement. (because he was overconfident and had careless attitude towards money).
Antonio’s melancholy sets the tone for the play and it also creates a mystery for the audience.
Hope this answer helps you.☺️
