The answer has been stated below.

Explanation:

  • In the play "The Merchant of Venice" Prince of Aragon foolishly chooses the wrong casket.
  • When Prince Arragon arrives at Belmont in Act 2 Scene 9, he decides to choose the right casket. When he was seeing the caskets he first saw the golden casket on which it was inscribed that "Who chooseth me shall gain what many men desire". Prince denied the golden casket thinking that everyone desires flashy and attractive caskets.
  • Then he sees the silver casket on which it was inscribed "Who chooseth me shall get as much as he deserves". so, he chose the silver casket because he arrogantly thinks that he deserves to win Portia.
  • This is the reason he called silver casket a treasure house because according to him it will make him win Portia.
