The Prince assumes that he deserves Portia since they are equals in fortune, birth, and upbringing. He feels that he deserves more than just to be an equal in those aspects, he also deserves to be loved
Explanation:
- The Prince of Morocco has 2 objections to the lead casket when he was making the choice . The inscription on the lead casket states that anyone who selects it “must give and hazard all he hath”, and Morocco instantly decides that the risk is not worth taking. who wouldn't gamble everything he's got for a substance that's worthless. It is beneath him
- Morocco doubts that a prize as valuable as Portia could be contained in a worthless lead box – he gives a lot of importance to appearances (he even instantly apologise for his skin color on his first entrance, a telling moment in a play obsessed with pedigree and race) and believes that appearances give reliable clues about one's worth.
- The Prince claims that lead is too base a metal for Portia. Or just say such a thing or contemplating such a thing is an insult. It is literally an ignominy to picture Portia lying in a casket made up of such an invaluable substance.
- We have seen Morocco already and realize he is a strong and confident man, rich in his dresses and words, so it's no shock to see him switch from the least attractive to most stunning exterior attraction of the caskets. He is used to sizing up investment risks, and this looks like a bad deal. Therefore, he makes the most obvious and straightforward choice for him the golden casket only to find the skull and the scroll. The moral is clear in this story, sensory beauty and wealth , symbolised here by gold, are merely transitory.
- The casket puzzle is designed to weed out exactly that kind of appearance-based, investment-obsessed thinking, and it weeds out Morocco very quickly.
