4. How does the Prince of Arragon let Portia know that he is aware of the rules?
What are the rules and how did he get to know them? What is Portia's response to
Arragon's statement?
5. What is Arragon's response to the inscription on the golden casket? Do you think he is
something of a snob? (See how he refers to the fool multitude, 'the common spirits'
and the barbarous multitude'.)
6. Think of Bassanio's long speech rejecting the golden casket. Is his strong disapproval
of pretence and falsehood in society sincere and apt for the situation? Or is it somewhat
dramatic and overdone, as though for an audience? See how he then goes on to choose
the lead casket with large-hearted expressions like 'thou meagre lead' and 'thy plainness
moves me more than eloquence'.
7. Which of these adjectives would you choose to describe Bassanio?
a. straightforward
b. clever
c. showy
d. indiscreet
8. Do you think Portia was equally impartial with all three suitors, or did she, in her mind, favour
one of them? What supports your view?
