Question

why is Antonio melancholy

Answer 1

Some say he is sad because Bassanio is going to marry Portia. So there might be 2 explanations for this. One is that he thinks he is going to lose a bff. The other is that he is homosexual.

Answer 2

IN THE PERIOD THE LANGUAGE WAS MUCH MORE Expensive SO PEOPLE IN THE MODERN DAY SOCIETY TOOK ANTONIO TO HOMOSEXUAL. MODERN PRODUCTION USE THE THEORY THAT ANTONIO IS SUFFERING FROM HIS LOVE FOR BASSANIO TO EXPLAIN HIS "MELANCHOLIC" BEHAVIOUR BUT IT IS NO PREVEN.
