Question

what was the reason of Antonio sadness??​

Answer 1

Answer:

He doesn't know the reason for his sadness. His friends, Salerio and Solanio state some reasons which Antonio denies. But probable reasons must be that Antonio was very anxious to know what Bassanio wanted to say. He would also miss his company if he wins Portia by lottery and resides in Belmont

Answer 2

Explanation:

Some commentators have suggested that Antonio's sadness probably stems from the fact that he realizes that he will soon lose the company of his best friend and companion, Bassanio, to that of a seemingly beautiful and wealthy young maiden, Portia with whom Bassanio has become infatuated.
