Answer:
The final cause of Antonio's melancholy might stem from a kind of internal conflict between his natural tendency to be generous and his constant need, as a merchant, to make money. This dichotomy would, perhaps, cause the kind of melancholy Antonio demonstrates throughout the play.

Answer:
He suggests that he has much to do, probably some serious introspection, to understand his melancholy. Salarino suggests that Antonio's mood is caused by his concerns over his trade ships at sea where they are at the mercy of the waves over which they rock and duck.
