Question

Was it totally Portia's idea how to save Antonio from Shylock's penalty or did Bellario told her the plan in the letter he sent her??

Answer 1

If this particular drama of Shakespeare is read from his ancient and actual records ... It will be seen that the character called Bellario is an anonymous reference to Portia herself. She feigns to be Bellario's cousin ... But she is the one who saves Antonio from Shylock. So we can say that it was completely Portia's plan how to save Antonio from Shylock's penalty.
