2.

after dinner, bassanio bid his darling goodbye

portia returns back to their shared room and sits on the bed, thinking about what is wrong with the love if her life, bassanio.

sure, she may have ignored it, going around as if there's nothing bothering anyone, but she's no fool.

she immediately started thinking of all the bad possibilities that might happen.

'seeing another woman behind my back, or even worse, having a child with her?'

portia shook her head in disbelief.

how could she ever think about her own husband in such a disgusting way.

though he was acting distant and was always lost in his thoughts, she could still feel his genuine love and affection.

on the other hand, bassanio was thinking of going to venice to meet his 'best friend'.

now, he was completely sure of being infatuated with antonio.

after thinking by the river, he went back home.
