what is bassanio supposed to do as far as Antonio's forfeiture of the bond is concerned?
Answers
Answer:
Bassanio is to pay off the debt paid for by Antonio with the money he gains through his marriage.
Explanation:
Bassanio is supposed to save his friend from the forfeiture of the bond as it was because of whom Antonio has to risks his life....
Bassanio who finally wins Portia as his wife now has enough money to pay for saving the life of his dearly friend Antonio.
Portia also asks him to just perform the marriage ceremony and rush with double the amount to save Antonio's life as by defacing the bond as they knew that shylock loves money than anything else, so by offering him more money he may take back his penalty
but this turned to be false as he was more revengeful towards Antonio as we can see by the way he refuses to take the money...
Hope this answer helps you........
