Blog Post #17

For my blog post I chose to explore the significance of Bissanio in Antonio's plot line. Well this may seem quite obvious but without Bissanio there would almost be no plot. first of all he asked for the loan from Antonio which lead to Antonio taking money from Shylock. Secondly if it were not for him and his wife Portia interfering Antonio would have likely died at the hands of Shylock. so in a way we can root all of Antonio's problems back to Bassanio. that is not to say that all that happened to Antonio was Bassanios fault. In-fact I do not think Antonio minded almost dying for Bassanio as he was basically in love with him.
