In Act One of "The Merchant of Venice," exposition is provided through the conversations among the characters. For example, Antonio's sadness is introduced early on, hinting at his emotional turmoil. Additionally, Bassanio's financial troubles and his desire to court Portia are revealed through his dialogue with Antonio, establishing the central conflict. The background on Shylock's animosity towards Antonio also sets the stage for the unfolding drama.
