HEYA!!!!

' The rest aloof' reffered to in the extract are people in the room like Nerissa, Gratiano and others whom Portia compares to Trojan women. Dardanian wives are Trojan women. Dardanus was the mythical ancestor of Trojans, who were called Dardanians. The trojan women had assembled on the beach with tear stained faces to wait and watch the result of the encounter between Hercules and the sea monster.
