He asks his friend Antonio for a loan, but Antonio is waiting for his ships to return. Until then, he has nothing to lend.
To help Bassanio, he borrows money from a money-lender – and agrees to an unusual condition. If Antonio cannot repay the loan in three months, the money-lender will cut a pound of flesh from his body.
