Answer:
Explanation:
1)
Prince of Morocco came first.
He chose the gold casket .
The inscription on the gold casket was “ who chooseth me shall gain what many men desire”. He chose the gold casket saying that Portia’s portrait can’t be put in any other casket which is inferior to gold. No other casket is worthy or valuable enough to contain Portia’s portrait .
b) prince Arragon came second. He chose the silver casket. The inscription on the silver casket was “ who chooseth me shall get what he deserves “. He rejects the lead casket telling it is dull. He rejects the gold casket saying that he isn’t moved by outward show. He chooses the silver casket as he was attracted by the inscription. He feels that many gets what they don’t deserve and he only wants what he deserves.
C) Bassanio is the third person. He chooses the lead casket which is the right casket. The inscription on the casket was “ who chooseth me shall risk all he hath “. He chooses the casket because he is ready to risk anything for the love of Portia. He rejects the gold casket saying beautiful or good things can mask something evil too. He rejects silver saying it is metal of slaves.
