Question

Who is Dr.Bellario?(Merchant of venice.)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Doctor Bellario - A wealthy Paduan lawyer and Portia’s cousin. Doctor Bellario never appears in the play, but he gives Portia’s servant the letters of introduction needed for her to make her appearance in court.

In Act III, Scene 4 of The Merchant of Venice we learn that Doctor Bellario, a prestigious Doctor of Law, is Portia's cousin. We also learn that he is so devoted to his cousin that Portia has no doubt that whatever she asks, he will do. We are not told precisely what she asks, but we know that it has something to do with garments and information contained in notes.
