The bond

Dear Journal,

Today was the day that Antonio sealed to such a bond for me. This was very exciting, although i feel quite guilty becuase Antonio's life is now at stake. Bassanio had asked for three thousand duckets that Shylock, the Jewish merchant, gave Antonio as part of the bond. Now that i have the money i need to go and pick the right casket so that i can have Portia.

Meet Bassanio

I am Bassanio.
I live in Venice, Italy.
I am a nice, but poor gentlemen that picked the right casket to become Portia suitor. My best friend is Antonio who agreed to a bond, to risk his own life for me just so I could get the money needed to get Portia.
