- The play strts Antonio, sharing with his friends Salerio and Solanio that he feels ‘sad’, but does not know why. His friends suggest that he is either worried about his ships, which are ‘tossing on the ocean’ and full of valuable goods, or that he is ‘in love’. Antonio rejects both of these ideas and Salerio and Solanio leave when Bassanio, (Antonio’s ‘noble kinsman’) arrives. Bassanio admits to Antonio that he has run out of his own money and is in need of resources so that he can go to Belmont and woo Portia, an heiress. Antonio agees to helping Bassanio and promises that he will find someone to lend him the money, which he will then give to Bassanio.
- In Belmont, Portia and her waiting woman and friend Nerissa discuss the intriguing ‘lottery’ that Portia’s father devised before his death. Portia is unable to choose her own husband and instead any suitor wishing to marry Portia must pick one of three caskets. One made of lead, one of silver and one of gold. If the suitor chooses the casket that holds a portrait of Portia, then they win her hand in marriage. Portia and Nerissa discuss the men who have recently visited Belmont on this quest and Portia wittily dismisses them all as unappealing.
