In Act 1, Scene 1 of "The Merchant of Venice," Antonio is financially troubled because his wealth is tied up in merchant ships that are currently at sea. He states that he feels sad and empty, which could also suggest that his emotional state affects his financial situation. Additionally, his friends suggest that he has invested in risky ventures, leaving him without liquid cash at the moment.
