What did portia plan to do once Bassanio and gratanio left for venice
Answers
Answer: Portia wrote a letter to her cousin, Doctor Bellario, who was a learned lawyer. She asked him to send her his advice and lawyer's gown. Doctor Bellario did so and in a short time Portia and Nerrisa were on their way to Venice. The former was disguised as a lawyer while the latter was disguised as a lawyer's clerk. Portia had made up her mind to act as a lawyer and save Antonio.
Explanation:
Portia and Nerrisa had to camouflage thier demeanours lest they would be identified by Shylock who might tell the court that Portia wasn't a lawyer rather an affluent merchant's wife.
