Question

What does Antonio's dialogue "But little: I am armed and prepared......" tell us about his attitude towards life and death?

Answer 1

Antonio is ready to face stubborn shylock using his patience as the weapon and ready to face him with his calmy spirit here Antonio describes himself as a tainted flock meetest for death, the weakest kind of fruit that drops earliest to the ground so its better for me to die than to live in the poverty. He also talks about Fortune how it is kinder to him and now took all his wealth and made his life in danger

According to me this is the answer
