Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The poem quality of Mercy is written by William Shakespeare for the play “The Merchant of Venice”. Portia One of the main characters in the play argues why mercy is the greatest virtue of all. According to Portia the quality of mercy is not strained and it is as gentle as rain to the earth. It is divine and blessed twice, both by the giver and by the taker. It is the mightiest of all the human virtues. Portia argues that the king is more important than his crown. She says scepter shows only the force of temporal power which is only a result of awe and royal power. It is full of dread and fear of kings. But the quality of mercy is above that sceptred power. The quality of mercy should be enthroned in the heart of kings as it is an attribute of God. When the quality of mercy tempers justice, then the earthly power looks like Divine power.
Answer:
a) Portia is the speaker here.
b) Sceptre stands for temporal or earthly power.
c) It shows the attribute to awe and majesty wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings. It is an attribute to God himself and earthly power doth then show likest God's when mercy seasons justice.
