Explanation:

If you give chapter 27 a quick skim, Atticus mentions that Bob holds a grudge against him because his original assumption was that the community would believe his story and see him as a hero, but after Atticus disproves this, his description (to the public eye) isn't changed.

- "despite the fact that portia lives in belmont and has many suitors, bassanio believes that he can win her heart. bassanio plans on overcoming his financial obstacles by borrowing money from antonio to travel to belmont. he then plans on marrying portia and becoming wealthy enough to pay off his debts."
