Who is protagonist in the merchant of Venice?
Antonio is the Merchant of Venice in The Merchant Of Venice. Is he the hero? No. He is not really charming, and so far from being wealthy that he has to borrow money from Shylock to pay for Bassanio's wooing. The charming and wealthy hero of The Merchant of Venice is Portia, who saves Antonio's life by a legal swindle and ends up triumphantly married to Bassanio, who has been chastened and tamed (just like Katharine in The Taming of the Shrew) by her dodge with his wedding ring.
Who is the hero of The Merchant of Venice?
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.

How many plots do Shakespeare plays usually have?
The tragedies generally have one main plot, although there are diversions from it. Some of the comedies have two plots such as Much Ado About Nothing (the Beatrice/Benedick plot and the Claudio/Hero plot) and Merchant of Venice (the Bassanio/Portia plot and the Shylock/Antonio plot). A Midsummer Night's Dream has three plots. The plot structure of some of the history plays, particularly the Henry VI trilogy, is diffuse and difficult to unravel. The more popular history plays Richard III and Henry V have a more definable main plot. The plot of Pericles is rambling and episodic, but does not have strong subplots. On the other hand, the late play Cymbeline contains Shakespeare's most complex and tightly-written plot.
What advice does Antonio give to his brother regarding his grief?
Shakespeare's favourite character name is Antonio. He used it in no less than five different plays, and you haven't said which one. It can't be the Merchant from the Merchant of Venice or the sea-captain from Twelfth Night, since neither of them has a brother. So cross them out. The Antonio from The Tempest is the brother of Prospero, but is not the kind of person who would console Prospero even if he needed consoling. In The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Antonio is Proteus's father, and has a brother, and the brother is sad and needs consoling, because Antonio says to his servant Panthino, "Tell me, Panthino, what sad talk was that, wherewith my brother held you in the cloister?" However, we do not see Antonio speak to his brother about his sadness. That leaves the Antonio in Much Ado about Nothing. He has a brother, called Leonato, who suffers grief because his only daughter Hero has been traduced by her fiancé Claudio. He is pretending to suffer a greater grief because they are pretending that Hero died of the shame. The traducing and the pretence that Hero is dead takes place in the extremely long Act IV Scene 1. Any consoling must come after. Act IV Scene 2 is all about Dogberry, but O look! Act V Scene 1 starts off with Antonio and Leonato. And Antonio's first line in that scene is "If you go on thus, you will kill yourself, and 'tis not wisdom thus to second grief against yourself." In other words, if Leonato spends so much time grieving that he kills himself, he will cause even more grief. In yet other words, Antonio is advising Leonato not to be so violent in his grief.
