Question

Discuss in detail how cleverly Portia interprets the clause and solves the case.

Answer 1

Explanation:

She told Shylock the he was allowed to cut a pound of Antonio's flesh on two condition's:

1) He should cut exactly one pound, not a gram less not a gram more.

2)He should not shed even one drop of Antonio's blood.

Thus when Shylock understood that he could not do what Portia told him to do(Portia had disguised as an young male lawyer) he accepted his defeat.

Later Antonio and Bassanio found out that the young lawyer was none other than Portia herself
