what contrast do you find in Antonio and bassanio attitude towards Shylock proposal
Answers
Answer:
HEY Buddy
Here's your answer....
Explanation:
These both are characters from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.
Bassanio is generally reckless in regard to his expenditure, whether its his money or it belongs to someone else.
In the beginning we develop a distaste towards this character who is largely selfish and extravagant. He wanted to marry Portia for her money. However, later on that changes as he turns into a charming enthusiast whose love continues to grow for Portia beyond her financial means.
His character has some sort of immaturity as well. But he is deeply caring about his friend Antonio. He is willing to offer himself in exchange for his friends debts of all sorts to Shylock. His love and care for his friend is an admirable trait in this character.
Antonio on the other hand is loved by all who he meets. He is a middle-aged bachelor who is a merchant by trade. All of his financial interests are stuck in overseas shipments.
He is a kind, generous and a confident man. He is also honest by nature; these traits lead him to be loved by all. However, he has some issues of religious intolerance present in him.
It is he who helps Bassanio to go to Belmont and win the hand of Portia there. His pound of flesh bond leads directly to the trial scene where Portia comes to his rescue.
And he too is a great friend who is willing to die for Bassiano.

Explanation:
The main difference between the loan that Antonio has given Bassanio and the loans gives out is a question of interest. In Act 1, Scene 3, Shylock clearly indicates that Antonio frequently gives out interest free loans.
He lends out money gratis and brings down
The rate of usance here with us in Venice.
Shylock is a money lender that charges interest. When Antonio gives out a loan and doesn't charge interest, he is undercutting Shylock's business and possible profit margins. That is one reason why Shylock does not like Antonio at all. Shylock's loan to Bassanio is different from Antonio's loan, because he charges interest. What is unique about this one time loan though is that Shylock forgoes the payment of interest. He does that in exchange for the right to take a "pound of flesh" from Antonio if the loan cannot be repaid.
This kindness will I show.
Go with me to a notary, seal me there
Your single bond; and, in a merry sport,
If you repay me not on such a day,
In such a place, such sum or sums as are
Express'd in the condition, let the forfeit
Be nominated for an equal pound
Of your fair flesh, to be cut off and taken
In what part of your body pleaseth me.
