(2)after a lot of shallow thinking and useless bragging,the prince of morocco chose the wrong casket. this shows that he was not a deep thinker and could easily be fooled by appearances. the prince went humiliated away without receiving any praise and sped away with his bragging and followers back to the place from where he had come,with nothing but three promises to remember of the expedition to win fair portia.
(3)since the duke of saxonys'nephew is a drunkard, with the help of her wits she thinks of a fail proof scheme to tackle him. while talking to her maid in waiting,Nerissa she says that if he chooses to make a choice then they can place a glass of the best rhenish wine on the contrary casket and fool him into chosing the wrong casket.
(4)the person referred to as the moth,the prince of arragon chooses the silver casket.he chooses the silver casket because he finds lead not worthy to put anything to risk and gold as something which is preferred by the common spirits and is smart enough to perceive the meaning of the inscription on the golden casket deeply . he chooses silver because he feels positive that nobody should posses an office they are not worthy of and that only pure honour and talent should be judged. he goes on to tell how much corruption and injustice is there in the world and how inestimable an amount of pure honour has been wasted. thus,he finds the silver casket the best and chooses it.
(5) portia thinks the english baron,falconbridge to be a good man but also ridicules him by saying that he seems to have brought his clothes from different parts of the world and how much she dislikes his dressing sense. she also comments upon how he seems to have brought his manners from all over the world.she also adds that the baron has no knowledge of the languages portia speak and portia has none of the ones he speaks in and how she can not converse in sign language forever.
