Why do nerissa and gratiano have an argument?
Nerissa and Gratiano have an argument because Gratiano took off his ring which Portia gave to him on their wedding day which was the same day as Portia and Bassanio's, and Nerissa made Gratiano swear or made him vow that he would never take the ring off until the hour of his death. "You swore to me when I did give it to you. That you should wear it till your hour of death, And that it should lie with you in your grave." Act 5, Scene one, line 152 - 154.
What is the conflect of the play Merchant of Venice?
The conflict is between Antonio and Shylock but Shylock is hated by everyone in Venice because he was a Jew, so that's Bassanio, Portia and all the other people in the play
Why is The Merchant of Venice a good play?
It has a rich multiple plot, driven by the questions, "Will Bassanio get to marry Portia?", "Will Shylock be allowed to legally kill Antonio?", "Will Bassanio's failure of Portia's wedding ring test wreck their marriage?" We are interested in seeing how these issues turn out. There are some very interesting characters, especially Shylock, but also to a lesser extent Antonio and Portia. There are some wonderful speeches, especially Portia's "The quality of mercy . . ." and Shylock's "Hath not a Jew eyes?" There are a number of interesting diversions from the main plotlines--Lorenzo's elopement with Jessica, the failed suitors for Portia, Portia and Nerissa discussing the men who have come to woo Portia, and Launcelot Gobbo (a part surely designed for Will Kempe, the Chamberlain's Men's house comic.)
Why is portia seen as a perfect heroine in merchant of Venice?
Portia is clearly the heroine of The Merchant of Venice, since she takes action which foils Shylock's plan and saves Antonio's life, while being at the same time the object of Bassanio's adoration. But she is far from perfect: her comments about her suitors are mean and petty and occasionally racist. She does not content herself with foiling Shylock's plan; she has to destroy Shylock's life into the bargain. Her cruelty towards him goes far beyond what justice would require (he loses the money he loaned to Antonio because he insisted upon the unenforceable bond), far from showing him the mercy which she hypocritically praises then fails to practise. She intentionally pressures Bassanio into giving up his wedding ring and then criticises him for doing so, another example of her hypocrisy.

How is Portia connected Bassanio in The Merchant of Venice?
Oh yes. She gives Antonio a new ring for Bassanio, saying, "Give him this, and bid him keep it better than the other." It's the same ring, of course, but Portia has already said that all is forgiven. Indeed the ring game was a way to ensure Bassanio's obedience, a sort of Taming of the Shrew in reverse. Portia never intended to part with Bassanio.
In the merchant of Venice Who settled the quarrel between portia and bassanio?
The only quarrel they had was because Bassanio used his wedding ring to pay the legal bill for the defence of Antonio from Shylock's suit. Since it was Portia, supported by Antonio, who had insisted that he give the ring in the first place, she wasn't really that mad at him. He apologises for giving away the ring ("Pardon this fault, and by my soul I swear I never will break an oath with thee."), and she accepts it. No other person was necessary to settle their quarrel.
What is Portia's goal in The Merchant of Venice?
Her goal in impersonating a lawyer is to save Antonio and destroy Shylock. Her goal in demanding Bassanio's wedding ring as a fee is to shame him and make him more obedient to her.

What is the relationship between antonio and Bassanio in The Merchant of Venice?
Antonio and Bassanio's friendship is a very close one. Bassanio consider Antonio his best friend. I also think that Bassanio is also Antonio's best friend because Antonio lent money to Bassanio so he can pay his debts while living the high and fun life. Antonio even sacrifice his own life to Shylock so that Bassanio can have three thousands ducats to woo Portia, a rich heiress from Belmont. I think this part really says that Antonio does care about Bassanio and in a possible way he loves him like a brother. Antonio also Bassanio that all the money that he needed to pay Antonio that Bassanio did not need to pay him the money that he borrows a long time ago. Antonio is really a nice and kind friend and Bassanio is really lucky to have him. This part shows that Antonio is really kind and would sacrifice everything so his friend's happiness would be fulfilled. Bassanio on the other hand sometimes takes Antonio for granted. Bassanio even told Portia that Antonio is his best friend and he is the kindest and nicest man in Venice. Portia replied that she would like to meet him. But there is a scene where Bassanio wasn't gold - digger always that he also cares about Antonio too. Bassanio told Portia that he needed to save Antonio's life from the Jewish moneylender, Shylock. He said that he needed to save his friend's life first before marrying Portia. This part also shows that he is truthful to his friend. When Bassanio gave the ring, that Portia made him swear never to give it away, lose it or anything, to the lawyer who was actually Portia to reward the lawyer for helping to save Antonio's life. He was even willing to give the ring that his future wife gave it to him to show that he belongs to Portia and her wealth.Bassanio also felt worried when Portia told him that she had to sleep with the lawyer to get the ring back. This was the part that Bassanio showed that he was in love with Portia and not only with her wealth. But Portia eventually told Bassanio that she was the lawyer and Nerissa was the lawyer's clerk. Bassanio felt relieved and fooled by his wife. This part also shows that Portia's beauty also matches her brains. Bassanio also told the lawyer that he love Antonio more than his wife and the lawyer replied that you and your wife will argue if she were to hear this. This shows that Bassanio could not control his mouth and can not keep secrets. Antonio on the other hand also showed that he was easily gullible to think that Bassanio care for him but in fact Bassanio only wanted money. Although Antonio is kind, I also think he is too trustworthy. He trusts so must on his ship. He was very confident that his ships will return safely to land. But later rumors spread that Antonio's ship sank and it turned out to be true. I also thought that Antonio is a lonely man and have no self confident. But this part shows that he has a small spark of it in him. Antonio also told shylock that he was a dog, a non- believer, critic on his Jew clothes and more horrible things. This shows that Antonio can be a mean and unkind person to the Jews. I believe that through out the trial, Antonio and Bassanio characters have many sides. Bassanio turned out to be a nice man after all and Antonio can also be a horrible man after all. Their friendship had revealed some new characters about them.
