Answer 2

A brief note on the resourcefulness of Portia is as follows;

• Portia is the main character in William Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice.
• A wealthy, beautiful, and wise heiress of Belmont, she is chosen through the lottery established in her father's will, which gives potential suitors the chance to choose from three caskets.
• If he chooses the correct casket, he will win Portia's hand in marriage. If he selects the incorrect casket, he should go and should not be looking for another lady to marry.
• She is stated to be blonde and has curly hair. As Bassanio says to Antonio in Act I scene I, she is extra stunning than the phrase itself.
• It is likewise visible that she is racist as she says that she can be able to instead take delivery of The Prince of Morocco as her spiritual adviser than her husband due to his darkish complexion, which she refers to as that of The Devil.
• She favors a younger Venetian noble, soldier, and scholar, Bassanio.
• Later within the play, she disguises herself as a man, then assumes the position of a lawyer's apprentice, named Balthazar, wherein she saves Bassanio's friend, Antonio, in court.
