In Act Two, Scene 9, the Prince of Arragon arrives at Belmont and tries his luck choosing the right casket. After taking an oath to not tell anyone which casket he chooses and agreeing to never propose to anyone for the remainder of his life if he picks the wrong box, the prince reads the inscription on the golden casket. The inscription reads, "Who chooseth me shall gain what many men desire" (Shakespeare, 2.9.24-25). The Prince of Arragon makes the correct choice by not opening the golden casket. He mentions that many people would probably choose the golden casket simply because it is flashy and attractive. The prince says,
"I will not jump with common spirits And rank me with the barbarous multitudes" (Shakespeare, 2.9.32-33).
The Prince of Arragon then reads the inscription on the silver casket, which says, "Who chooseth me shall get as much as he deserves" (Shakespeare, 2.9.36-37). The prince arrogantly believes that he deserves the great privilege of winning Portia's companionship and incorrectly chooses the third casket. However, inside the silver casket is a portrait of a "blinking idiot" holding a letter that ridicules the prince for making the incorrect choice.
