Why does Portia say, "I stand for sacrifice" as Bassanio is about to make
the choice of caskets? What sacrifice is she referring to?​

Answer 1

Portia says so because she is standing near the caskets as a sacrifice if bassanio chooses the correct casket then she will be of bassanio and if bassanio chooses wrong casket she will have to sacrifice bassanio(her love) as per her father's will so her love is at sacrifice and so she is also at sacrifice

Answer 2

Answer:

Portia feels as though she is the sacrificial victim, whose destiny is held in the caskets appropriated by her father. Portia(like Hesione) stands as the one offered as a sacrifice
