• He designed the lottery to make sure a deserving suitor would wed Portia because he did not want a shallow, materialistic guy to receive his daughter's hand in marriage.
• The caskets test was created by Portia's late father as a deterrent to gold-diggers from approaching his daughter.
• He hoped that any future son-in-law he might have would marry Portia for who she was and not for the enormous dowry she would bring to the union.
