is bassanio a worthy husband. justify your answer by giving examples from the play
Answers
Answer:
Portia has no comparison in the Merchant of Venice. There is no one who truly matches her wit and energy. She likes Bassanio, a Venetian scholar and soldier who had visited them while her father was alive. Portia is a witty and energetic young woman like most of Shakespeare’s heroines. In the initial scenes of the drama, Bassanio mentions her as a beauty with golden locks of hair running down her forehead.
justification
For example when portia jokes about the suitors having come to marry her. she keeps on joking on other suitors but when she heard bassanio's name, she was excited.
Of all the men around her, it is only Bassanio whom she considers worthy. She is sharp and diligent. Her father has cleverly designed the game to find her the most honest suitor. The one who loves her honestly will choose the right casket. She is afraid that Bassanio may choose the wrong casket and lose her. So, she requests him to wait for two months before taking the test. Apart from being intelligent, she is romantic and often her words are loaded with love and longing. She is divided into two and the one half belongs to Bassanio while the other half that is with her also belongs to him. If she was not bound by her oath, she would have told him of the right box. However, Bassanio turns out to be a true and worthy lover who selects the right casket after careful consideration.
This is also the test that proves Bassanio a wise man with a head over his shoulders and a fit husband for her.
