What assurancedid Bassanio give to Antonio through his childhood experience ?
Answers
Explanation:
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.
Handsome, clever, pleasure-loving, and pleasure-seeking, but still with many noble traits, it is not until some sudden crisis occurs in his life that he discovers his own littleness, or that his friends realize how much there is in him that is truly manly and noble.
Bassanio says that as a child he would shoot another arrow in the same direction as the first so he could find both arrows. He uses it as a metaphor to convince Antonio to take a chance on him (shoot another arrow) and Bassanio will be able to pay all his debts back.
