Bassanio is unconcerned about the terms, which leaves us wonderingabout his recklessness and lack of concern for Antonio. His inability to see past his ultimate goal (marrying Portia) leaves us wondering about his impulsiveness. In the end, however, Bassanio is not the one who truly accepts the deal.... the deal is struck by Antonio, who had every opportunity to walk away.
