It is a school of thought accepted by some critics and readers, yes.

Some people believe that Antonio is homosexual but there is no real evidence to support this in the play - it is a widely accepted interpretation though :yep:

Other people tend to view Antonio as a fatherly figure to Bassanio, and believe that he is simply doing whatever he can to ensure that Bassanio is happy, whatever the consequences.

Hope this helps :hugs:
