Answer:
Jessica shows herself as a shrewd and prudent lady, by betraying her father Shylock. Shylock was a Jew, but Jessica eloped with a Christian (Lorenzo) in spite of knowing that her father hated the Christians. She didn’t even think about her father’s emotions. He loved her daughter and cared about her, but she regarded Shylock as a devil.
On the other hand, Portia was a kind and gentle girl. She highly respected her father, though he was dead. Her father set up a will where a person who chose the right casket (which contained a portrait of Portia) would marry her. Portia was so devoted to her father that she decided to sacrifice her life by marrying the person who chose the right casket even if she didn’t like him.

6} FATHER’S AFFECTION TOWARDS THEM:
Jessica’s father Shylock was not given the love and care as needed by Jessica. He only given the sins and ashamed for her which had affected the father’s love towards her. This made the bad feelings about Shylock even though Shylock tried his best to be the best father.
Portia’s father was best to his daughter and Portia was also so caring and gentle to her father. This can be seen by the wealth and the offerings maintained and given by her father to Portia
SUMMARY:
Jessica did not receive the affection from her father but the Portia had received the affection from her father this can be proved by the wealth and offerings given to her but Jessica had experienced only the sins and ashamed by her father.
