what are the qualities that portia and nerrisa lack when they were planning to dress as lawyer and clerk?
Answers
Shylock, insistent on getting his bond, has Antonio arrested. Portia and Nerissa go to Venice disguised as a lawyer and clerk. In the courtroom, the Duke asks Shylock to show some compassion and Bassanio offers 6000 ducats to repay Antonio’s loan. Portia appears, disguised as Balthazar. He (she) speaks about mercy and tries to persuade Shylock to drop the case but he refuses. Balthazar (Portia) examines the contract and declares that it is legal. However, as Shylock is about to cut Antonio, Balthazar (Portia) stops him and points out that the contract does not mention blood. If Shylock spills a drop of Antonio’s blood, everything he owns will be confiscated.
Finally she charges Shylock for attempting to harm Antonio, a crime for which he must be punished by losing all his possessions. Antonio shows some mercy by requesting that half Shylock’s money goes to Jessica and her husband, but makes the condition that Shylock must convert to Christianity.

“They shall, Nerissa; but in such a habit
That they shall think we are accomplished
With that we lack. I’ll hold thee any wager,
When we are both acoutered like young men,
I’ll prove the prettierfellow of the two,
And wear my dagger with the braver grace,
And speak between the change of man and boy
With a reed voice, and. turn two mincing steps
Into a manly stride, and speak of frays
Like a fine bragging youth” .
