Answers
Answer:
Shakespeare has no heroes, only heroines, said Ruskin. In the context of this saying, yes, Portia does come out as a very witty and strong character in The Merchant of Venice.
As, Portia is the most beautiful, intelligent as well as obedient character in the play The Merchant of Venice. Portia has been depicted as an obedient character who obeys to the will of her dead father about her marriage as for the lottery of caskets, devised by her father to choose a husband. As she was the graciest as well as the fairest lady in the world. Although she did not like Prince of Morocco and Arragon, she politely speaks to them and lead them to the casket to choose one. She also was a playful lady as she gives ger opinion for all those six suitors who had came before to woe her. At last of the play we know that when Shylock with the bond came to take a pound of flesh from Antonio's body, Portia in the character of a lawyer, saved Antonio from death by her intellihency.
