Merchant Of Venice Scene 1 - Act 1 Reflection

In English we have started our topic on Shakespeare, we are reading The Merchant Of Venice and have been given some questions to answer.


Antonio is depressed without knowing why. What two possible reasons do his friends suggest?
His friends suggest maybe he is worried about his money and ships or maybe he is in love. Antonio denies both.

Do you think Gratiano’s contributions help Antonio’s mood?
No not really, he pretty much said cheer up before you become a wrinkly old sack.

What are your first impressions of Bassanio?
He is the kind who borrows stuff and takes ages to give it back.

Is Bassanio in love?
Yes, he is head over heels for Portia.

Why does he need to borrow money again now
to impress Portia, since he wants to marry here.
