Summary of the
Merchant of Venice
Antonio
A prominent merchant of Venice in a melancholic mood. Antonio is honest, never trades or loans unethically and does all things kind and good like helping a poor friend in need even at the cost of his life. He is rich and influential but Shylock makes him a scapegoat using his honesty and love for his friend against him. His character is filled with extra goodness and kindness. Shlock uses this trait to exploit his true friendship with Bassanio. He is also a kind hearted man, proud of being a Christian and slightly arrogant and childish. His weakness shows up in the form of his anti-semitism. Hidden behind these traits is his solemnity and his profound love for humanity and his close friends. As Bassanio spells out, he is the noblest man.
