Answer 1

Answer:

1.Here is a list of the six suitors and of Portia's problem with each of them.

The Neapolitan prince. He only talks about his horse. ...

The County Palantine. He is gloomy, always frowning.

Monsieur Le Bon. ...

Falconbridge, the young baron of England. ...

The Scottish lord. ...

The young German, the Duke of Saxony's nephew.

Portia's disgruntlement with being compelled to select a suitor from the young men that her late father has arranged to come to Belmont produces some uproarious effects. Shakespeare uses his plot as an opportunity to satirize the noblemen of England and its neighboring countries of France, Scotland, and Germany. Portia's description of six of her suitors in act 1, scene 2 provides comic relief for the tragicomedy The Merchant of Venice.

The first six suitors come to Belmont, and after they depart, Portia speaks with Nerissa about them.

The Neapolitan Prince: Portia, who calls him a "colt" [meaning a stallion] describes this man as obsessed with his horse and its sterling qualities. He boasts of his skills in shoeing his horse himself. Drolly, Portia says that she suspects that the prince's mother must have "played wrong [had an affair] with a [black]smith" (1.2.42), implying that she was a mare.

The Count Palatine: Portia describes this man of royalty as perpetually frowning. His gloomy nature permits him no joy. For instance, "[H]e hears merry tales and smiles not." (1.2.46) Portia adds that if she marries such a melancholy man, it will be like living with "the weeping philosopher"; that is, another Heraclitus, a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher, who perceived all things as one.

Monsieur Le Bon: Portia cannot identify any real personality in this man: " . . . he is every man in no man."

Falconbridge: Portia says that this young baron from England speaks none of the languages that she knows. She describes the Englishman as having no real identity, either, since his manner of dress indicates nothing about him. He wears a doublet from Italy, his round hose [a lower garment that functions both as stockings and breeches] from France, and his "bonnet" from Germany. Portia adds that his behavior also comes from everywhere.

The Scottish lord: With Portia's description, Shakespeare satirizes the Scots. Portia tells Nerissa that when the Scotsman was boxed on the ear by the Englishman, he promised to pay the Englishman back with the aid of the Frenchman. (This is a sarcastic remark directed toward the French who failed on several occasions to provide promised assistance to the Scots against the English.)

The young German, a nephew of the Duke of Saxony: Portia indicates the German's inclination for drinking as she finds him to be inebriated all day long. She says that she hopes to find a way to live without him.

After Nerissa informs her that all six noblemen have left because they do not wish to abide by the command of her father that if they make the wrong choice of casket, Portia concludes with obvious relief and irony.

2.

In the golden casket he finds “a carrion death”, that is, a skull, which reminds him of death. He has been too bold in his reasoning, and risked too much. Morocco judges from outside appearances.

3.

First, never to reveal which casket he chose. Second, if he fail to choose the correct casket then never in his life he will woo a maid in way of marriage. lastly, if he fails to choose the right casket he will immediately leave the princess and be gone forever.

4.

Mr Oliver got frightened and the torch fell down from his trembling hand. He got nervous and ran blindly through the trees and called for help. ... His head hung down, he held his face in his hands, and his body shook convulsively.

5.

The word 'Kritam' in Tamil means "coronet" or "crown". According to the author, Kritam is a village represented with a microscopic dot on Indian Map i.e. a very very small village just comprising of less than 30 houses.
