After reading this story, I like the character Antonio created by the author best. He is the representative of the emerging bourgeois businessman, and the author has beautified him. He cherishes friendship, borrows money from loan sharks for his friends, and dies for it; He was magnanimous and resigned to Shylock's shameless plot; In the face of the threat of death, he has the courage of the ancient Roman hero to face the danger without fear and to return to death. In a word, he has the qualities of decency, affection, gentleness and elegance that the humanists of the Renaissance wrote for him.
