38. Antonio has a lot of friends, however, he has very little close friends, whom he treasures more than other friends, like Bassanio. When Antonio's friends has problems he does not hesitates to help them and tries all means to help. However, Antonio does not share his own problems with friends and chooses to keep it to himself. Antonio is extremely loyal to Bassanio and is willing to sacrifice his life just for Bassanio's marriage. Antonio treats his friends problems as his own, going to great lengths and risks to solve it. I think that these traits of Antonio's are also similar to me.
39. The word to describe Antonio would be loyal. He is loyal to all his friends, even ones who are not that close as Bassanio. Antionio always tries to solve his friend's problems at all costs. Antonio never betrayed his friends or quarreled with them. Antonio sacrifices for his friends. Also, Antonio does not want to trouble his friends by telling them his problems.
40. The main idea of this book is to discriminate the Jews and to glorify the Christians. In the books Shylock, the evil character is portrayed as a Jew whereas the character with good traits like Antonio, Bassanio and Portia are Christians. In the end, Shylock was even forced to convert to Christian. This book is just simply trying to discriminate Jews as Jews in the Elizabethan era was looked down upon.
