Bassanio:
Sometimes from her eyes
I did receive fair speechless messages.
Her name is Portia; nothing undervalued
To Cato's daughter, Brutus ' Portia;
Nor in the wide world ignorant of her worth,
For the four winds, blow in from every coast
Renowned suitors, and her
sunny
locks
Hang on her temples like a golden fleece;
Which makes her seat of Belmont Colchos' strand
And many Jasons come in quest of her.
i) Where does this scene take place? To whom are these words addressed? Why does Bassanio talk about portia in the extract?

Explanation:
Portia's response to Bassanio's admission is interesting. She first asks how much money Bassanio owes Antonio and is shocked that it is such a low amount (in her opinion); she then tells him just to pay the amount, even triple what is owed if that is what will solve the problem (she implies that she will pay the debt).
