Antonio is a generous and loyal man. The attitude towards money and people may be worth learning. Money is very important, but there are many things in this world that are much more important than money. He is generous and indifferent to money. He often lends money to others without interest. He left this windfall to Shylock's daughter and son-in-law Lorenzo, who was also his friend. He values the loyalty of his friends and is willing to borrow money from them with his life, which shows that he is loyal to his friends, respects friendship and sacrifices his life. Antonio is a reckless and stupid person. Do something unwise, strategic, reckless and impulsive, sometimes it looks a bit silly. He borrowed money from Shylock, and when Shylock offered him outrageous terms, he was willing to accept it, which showed his helplessness and stupidity. Although he married the woman he loved for his friends. But what he did was wrong. The money he wants to buy with his life is to help his friends propose marriage, not to help people who really need help or do the right thing. The two are completely different in essence.
Facing the threat of death, he has the courage of a Roman hero, but death is heavier than Mount Tai and lighter than feathers. After all, he sacrificed himself not for a just cause, nor for helping the poor and suffering. Faced with his brazen plot, Shylock felt at a loss, helpless and weak. He also has Christian sympathy and compassion, and is finally willing to return half of Shylock's property awarded to him by the court, on condition that Shylock converts to Christianity and writes a contract stating that the property belongs to his daughter and son-in-law after his death.
