Yes, Prince of Morocco standed as a fair chance as the other suitor because he too like other men, was a man. He also proved his point by saying about his colour of blood. He said he may have a dark complexion unlike others, but he would bleed red blood as any other man.

(P.s. I studied merchant of Venice 2 years ago.. so, I have rough idea about this scene. kindly refer to a reference book. Hope it helps you..)


shashwatkr: ya i know, i studied it like 2 years ago.. so..
shashwatkr: that's gr8 but i don't care
ashblend17: It happens:-D
ashblend17: If Portia were to select the suitor, she would have not selected Morocco
shashwatkr: thanks for enlightening me..

Yes , it is correct to say that Prince of Morocco stands as fair as chance as other suitors. Portia's father had mentioned in the lottery of caskets that Portia can't choose her wooer of her own but the suitor who would choose the correct casket would marry her . It would not matter whether Portia likes the suitor or not . It's just the game of chance .Her father was a witty man who wanted that his daughter should be married to the true lover of hers .

Udeesha: but as a suitor he agreed to the terms of the game and thus has a fair chance in choosing the casket
ashblend17: He indeed has a fair chance but if Portia were to select her suitor, she would not have selected Morocco
Udeesha: that was portia who would never choose her but as a suitor she cannot deny him to make choice
ashblend17: And according to the lottery, Morocco had the fair chance of selecting the casket but Portia's father was witty and he coined the lottery in such a way that only her true lover could win the lottery
Udeesha: that is what is asked that if he had a fair chance in choosing
ashblend17: Well Morocco didn't knew about the lottery. He asked if Portia would select him? Portia said that its not in her hands to select the suitor. The she said that IF IT WAS IN MY HANDS TO SELECT THE SUITOR, YOU WOULD STAND AS FAIR A CHANCE AS ANY OTHER SUITOR
ashblend17: read the line 20-22 carefully and you'll know it
ashblend17: btw, I am also giving ICSE board exams. All the best for tomorrow
Udeesha: thanks and all the best to u too
ashblend17: Thanks
