Compare Bassanio’s logic in the selection of casket with Morocco’s and Arragon’s. How does his elimination process differ from theirs? How does his description of world also describe himself? Would he have been able to choose without Portia’s hints or encouragement? Why or why not?

Answer:
Bassanio's choice has nothing to do with greed or ownership. Morocco loves the idea of gold, status,and riches. Aragon likes silver because of money. Bassanio refuses gold because he knows that "all that glisters is not gold." He refuses silver because "common drudge 'tween man and man."He chooses lead because the outside frequently does not tell what is inside thus a person's true worth lies within.
