Answer:
In just the scene two of act one, Portia tells Nerissa that even if the Prince of Morocco behaves perfectly, she still wouldn’t be interested in marrying him because of his dark complexion. Portia’s lines set a precedent continued through the rest of the play: the play’s protagonists act on prejudice against those who look or act differently than they do. As Portia’s prejudice is an inextricable factor in her search for a husband, the plot-shaping actions of characters such as Antonio, Bassanio, Lorenzo, and Lancelot are laced with a prejudice that troubles modern readers.
