Question

Why did bassanio come to Shylock?(Merchant of Venice)​

Answer 1

Antonio didn't have any actual money, because he invested it all in some ships (he was a merchant, after all--investing is how he made money). Antonio expected his ships to return soon, so he decided to help Bassanio by going to Shylock, a professional moneylender, to borrow money until his ships returned.

Word comes to Bassanio about Antonio's predicament, and he hastens back to Venice, leaving Portia behind. Portia, however, travels after him with her maid, Nerissa; they disguise themselves as a lawyer and clerk, respectively. When Bassanio arrives, the loan is in default and Shylock is demanding his pound of flesh.
