What were the reactions of Portia to her father's will?
Answers
Answer:
One of the caskets holds a portrait of Portia and whoever chooses this one will become her husband. Portia is frustrated by the way her father controls her even though he is no longer alive and she complains about her lack of choice. Nerissa reminds Portia about the nobleman Bassanio who once visited them.
Answer:
Portia totally agreed to will and this was the reason why she didn't get influenced by the Prince of Morroco and Arragon, she knew that she had to follow her father's will and couldn't unfollow the terms and conditions mentioned in it, due to this reason only she was tensed when it was Bassanio's turn to choose the caskets. She expected that Bassanio too like the other suitors would choose the wrong casket but when he chose the correct casket Portia was overwhelmed by happiness.
