How is Antonio's character in the merchant of Venice?

He starts the play sad, and seems to have a melancholy air about him during the trial scene. Some people think he has an unrequited homosexual passion for Bassanio. You can take that or leave it. He is also an Anti-Semite and rude to Shylock and all the other Jews; we see this when he calls Shylock a "devil" ("The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose."). He is perhaps not quite as nasty as some of the other Venetian anti-Semites, but is bad enough that Shylock fixes his revenge on him.
