The friend who was dearest to his heart was Bassanio,a noble Venetian. Bassanio had inherited only a small patrimony, and he had nearly exhausted his little fortune by living in too expensive a manner. Whenever Bassanio wanted money,Antonio helped him.They were so close that many people said they shared one heart and one purse.
One day,Bassanio came to Antonio and told him that he wished to repair his fortune by marrying a wealthy lady whom he dearly loved.He added that the lady’s father,who had recently died,had left his sole heiress a large estate.
Before her father died,Bassanio used to visit her house.He had always felt that she liked him,but he had not dared to talk to her yet.This was because he had no money to furnish himself with an appearance befitting the lover of such a rich heiress.
So now he asked Antonio to help him once again by lending him three thousand ducats.
Antonio had no money with him at that time to lend his friend.But because he expected to have some ships come home with merchandise soon,he said he would go to Shylock to borrow some money.
