Question

Why does Lorenzo tell Jessica to come down at once ? ( In Merchant of Venice Act 2 Scene 6 )​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lorenzo tells her to come down for she has to be his torchbearer. Jessica is practically mortified by the idea, for she believes that she has to 'hold a candle' to her shame. ... Jessica returns and joins them after which she, Lorenzo and Salarino leave the scene.
