Question

Who is the country palatine ? Why has he come to Belmont ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Country Palatine is one of the famous characters of the Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare.

He was among the suitors who came to Belmont, to marry Portia. Palatine did nothing but frowning.

He listened to many tales but never laughed. Portia thought, he is a whiny man. She feared that when he grows older, he will be a weeping philosopher.
