Question

In Merchant of Venice who is Nestor ? Why he is reffered to in the extract

Answer 1

Nestor is an old Greek lord, an ancient part of history, white-bearded, decrepit, senile, long- winded . Nestor is actually one of the leaders of the Greeks in the Trojan War which figures prominently in Homer's Iliad.
He is absolutely not a character in the novel The Merchant of Venice but he has been referred in the extract because he represents wisdom and good moral judgment.

Answer 2

Answer:

In fact, Nestor is one of the Greek leaders in the Trojan War, which is a major theme in Homer's Iliad. He is not at all a character in The Merchant of Venice, but he is mentioned in the excerpt because he stands for morality and wisdom.

Explanation:

• Pylos's king was Nestor. He was one of the Trojan War's best generals. He was renowned for his profound gravity, intelligence, and knowledge of combat. He would chuckle if the joke was truly funny. In the excerpt, he is mentioned in reference to the depressed and solemn folks. Nestor is mentioned because he stands for moral clarity and wisdom.
• The Merchant of Venice doesn't actually feature a character named Nestor. He is a reference to one of the Greek generals in Homer's Iliad's Trojan War.

Thus this is the answer.
