Question1: Read the extract given below and answer the question that follow:-
solanio: Believe me, sir, had I such venture forth,
The better part of my affections would
Be with my hopes abroad.
Q- Why is Solanio giving all these reasons and explanations?
Solanio is explaining Antonio's depression and reiterating the multiple reasons he has to be sad. Antonio cannot give the reasons himself..... so Solanio gives the for him.
Antonio:
In sooth, I know not why I am so sad. It wearies me; you say it wearies you. But how I caught it, found it, or came by it, What stuff ’tis made of, whereof it is born, I am to learn. And such a want-wit sadness makes of me, That I have much ado to know myself.The Merchant of Venice
