Bassanio, unfortunately, is strapped for cash with which to go wooing, and Antonio wants to help, so Antonio borrows the money from Shylock, the money-lender. But Shylock has been nursing a grudge against Antonio’s insults, and makes unusual terms to the loan. And when Antonio’s business fails, those terms threaten his life, and it’s up to Bassanio and Portia to save him.
