Originally, Bassanio was conceived of as the hero, because he was the romantic lead. However, the character of Shylock is much more interesting and the heavy-duty actors started within a couple of centuries to want to play Shylock rather than Bassanio. Over time this has resulted in productions of the play focussing more on the Shylock subplot than the romantic main plot between Bassanio and Portia. Nowadays most people would consider Shylock to be a tragic hero and the most significant character in the play as a result.
