what does portia mean when she says,"if I should marry him (monsieur le bon)I should marry twenty husbands"?(merchant of venice)​

Answer 1

hey mate here is your answer

It is at this point that Shakespeare is giving his audience the conventional Elizabethan satiric view of the other European nations. Portia's dismissal of each of her suitors corresponds to her age's caricatures of the typical Italian, Frenchman, German, and so on. The Neapolitan prince "does nothing but talk of his horse," a characteristic of only the southern Italian; the "County Palatine" (from the Rhineland) is a pure, unadulterated dullard; he is unable to laugh at anything; "Monsieur Le Bon" is "every man in no man" — that is to say, he has many superficial and changeable characters but no single, substantial one. (To marry him, as Portia says, would be "to marry twenty husbands.") The English suitor, on the other hand, affects European fashions in clothing but gets all of the various national fads — in clothes, music, literature, etc. — completely confused, and refuses to speak any language except his own. And then there is the Scot — defined by his anger at the English; and finally, there is the German who does nothing but drink. Portia sensibly refuses to be married to a "sponge."

Answer 2

Answer:

here's your answer

Explanation:

When Portia says "If I should marry him ,I should marry 20 husbands" she means that if she married Le Bon she should marry twenty husbands since Le Bon is having the characteristics of 20 men in him alone.
