Answers

Answered by anu123shka456

According to her father's will, she could not marry as she chose. Behind the rich curtains of her splendid home at Belmont were three caskets, one of gold,one of silver and of lead. Whoever came courting her, had to choose one of these,and abide by the conditions of Portia's father's will. If he chose the right casket, he got Portia;if he lost,he had to go away forever and never trouble her or any other woman again with a proposal of marriage.
