Why did price of Morocco did not choose lead casket
Answers
Answer:
MOROCCO, Arragon and Bassanio choose the gold, silver and lead caskets respectively. Today we would like to find out why these suitors choose as they do, and what aspects of their characters these choices reveal.
Morocco reads the inscriptions on the three caskets. The first of gold bears the inscription: “Who chooseth me shall gain what many men desire.” The second silver, which this promise carries: “Who chooseth me shall get as much as he deserves.” This third, dull lead, with warning all as blunt, “Who chooseth me must give and hazard all he hath.”
From this reading we are made aware of all the inscriptions on the three caskets chosen and rejected by the suitors.
Morocco surveys the inscriptions back again trying to understand each one of them. Analysing the leaden casket again he asks, “Must give — for what? For lead, hazard for lead!” Then he goes on to say that the leaden casket threatens — men that hazard all do it in hope for good profits. A golden mind does not stoop for displays of what is worthless. He decides that he will neither give nor hazard all for lead. To him lead is too threatening and not worth risking anything for.
