Answer:
Trial Scene Of Merchant Of Venice
Act IV, Scene I of William Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice involves the climactic court scene in which Shylock and Antonio confront one another, in person, before Portia, who will determine Antonio's fate.
The trial scene is perhaps the most important scene of the play 'The Merchant of Venice'. It is the scene which sets the ground for logic, justice, and righteousness. Shylock, smitten by his prejudice, wants to ruin Antonio on the basis of the bond signed by Antonio.
When Portia saves Antonios reach there, Portia uses her clever wit to save Antonio. she says that sure, the words are "a pound of flesh" but she analyzes the bond and quickly finds out that there is no blood written in it. So she uses that as a advantage against Shylock and wins the case. Portia is the central figure of the entire trial. Her role is significant. Her verdict of the trial is symbolic of the victory of justice and goodness overcoming evil.
