Portia and Nerissa are close friends, as are Antonio and Bassanio. However, Nerissa is a servant and Portia is her employer, so this is not a relationship between two equals. Antonio has more money than Bassanio, but they are social equals. One does not have to wait on the other.

Portia and Nerissa represented the perfect Elizabethan gentle ladies. Portia was a typical Elizabethan heroine, having beauty with brain. She was brave, courageous as well as a faithful daughter. She was also a responsible lover. Though endowed with heavenly blessings like beauty, wealth and brain, she was very humble and down to earth
Nerissa on the other hand represented the Elizabethan Maid or attendant who always try to copy their mistresses in behavior and manner. She was as beautiful and brainy as her mistress and supported her in times of her need
