Answered by Lucy0001

Answer:

Portia's father had devised a lottery-the choice among three caskets of gold, silver, and lead-in which the one who makes the correct choice would marry her. The suitors had to take the oath before choosing that if they made the wrong choice, they would never again woo another lady.
