The first scene of the movie is when Shylock calls Antonio's name, and Antonio just turns his head and spit on him. Everyone in Venice thinks that Antonio is a good guy. He borrows money with no interest, but his Jewishness doesn't affect his reputation at all. This damn racial discrimination. Shylock may be bitter, he may worship money, and he may borrow money for interest. But he loved his dead wife, which is why he heard Jessica spent her and Leah's gems for a monkey. He protects his daughter as the only person he can trust in this society, but she betrays him by eloping with a Christian with his money. When he was looking for his daughter in the rain, other Christians just thought of him as a rowdy Jewish dog, chilling. Because of his race, he swallowed it all his life, the only time he cut off a pound of Antonio's flesh. The result was also hit by a judge pretending to be Portia. In the end, he could only give up all his property and walk away alone. In the end, the hat was taken off.
Portia may be wise and resourceful because she rescued Antonio from shylock. However, when she commented on other suitors, she was not bitter, and she was also perfunctory to Morocco's prince, just hoping that he would not draw the right box.
Bassanio is a handsome man, but he is poor. Who can guarantee that he is not pursuing Portia because Portia is beautiful and rich?
I still think Bassanio and Antonio are a couple. Otherwise why borrow money in the bedroom? They also sat on the bed together and kissed on the mouth after they finally borrowed money. It's a mouthful, and the day before Antonio was about to be sentenced, he just wanted to see Bassanio before he died, and finally people rushed to the excited look. Absolutely adultery hehe
