Answer:
Jessica, a Jewish girl, has fallen in love with a Christian. Portia, a Christian woman, has no control over who she will have to marry, and love, for the rest of her life. Jessica hates her father for being so cruel, and not understanding. She eventually runs away from home. Portia does not hate her father, but he has passed away. His decisions in his will contribute to Portia's struggles with her romance.
