Explanation:
The interaction between Lancelot and his father, Old Gobbo, in this scene, is based on a comic misunderstanding: Old Gobbo is nearly blind and does not even recognise his own son. Lancelot therefore decides to have some fun with him. He asks Lancelot where his son is and Lancelot pretends he is dead. Old Gobbo is shocked, as he was relying on his son for support in his old age. Lancelot finally drops the pretence, but at first Old Gobbo still does not recognise him. When he finally does, Lancelot admits he’s thinking of leaving Shylock, who is a hard master. He wants to serve Bassanio instead. Bassanio coincidentally turns up, and old Gobbo and his son manage to persuade him to take Lancelot on.
