In The Merchant of Venice, Shylock loans Bassanio three thousand ducats without interest for a term of three months with Antonio backing Bassanio to guarantee the loan. One of the conditions of this loan is that Antonio must pay in a pound of flesh if he cannot repay the loan itself on time.
Gratiano a friend of Bassanio's who accompanies him to Belmont. A coarse and garrulous young man, Gratiano is Shylock's most vocal and insulting critic during the trial. While Bassanio courts Portia, Gratiano falls in love with and eventually weds Portia's lady-in-waiting, Nerissa.
