From the play The Merchant of Venice: Bassanio a gentleman of Venice requires 3000 ducats to pay for his travel expenses to Belmont. Bassanio wishes the money as he is seeking to wed the Heiress Portia. Bassanio turns to his good friend Antonio, who is a wealthy merchant.Unfortunately, Antonio's money is tied up on Ships doing business. He, however has offered to be Guarantor, they attempt to borrow money from a wealthy Jew, Shylock. Shylock reluctantly agrees, but on the condition that if he doesn't pay the 3000 Ducats by three months then Antonio has to give up a pound of his flesh, closest to the heart. They agree to the Bond. And then Antonio fails to pay on the date stated in the contract.
At the beginning of the play Antonio says "In sooth I know not why I am so sad" and Salarino and Salanio (you'd think Shakespeare could come up with more imaginative names for these characters) suggest that he's worried about his ships which are carrying trade goods to various ports around the world. When Antonio says that this is not the problem, Salarino suggests that he is in love, and Antonio pooh-poohs (well actually fie-fies, but the effect is the same) that idea also.
