Question

please give me the summary of mercy poem by william Shakespeare

Answer 1

Portia at Court' is a poem written by William Shakespeare in 'The Merchant of Venice, Act IV, Scene I'. Here the poet tries his level best to show the importance and greatness of mercy. Portia, the protagonist, tries to make the Jew understand the necessity or significance of mercy in human life. She told that mercy is a heavenly quality and the people who will show this to their fellow beings are also great and blessed by the God, the Creator of the Universe. Thus, we see that the magnanimity of mercy is shown by the poet in the poem very successfully through the earnest appeal of Portia.
