Why does the prince of morocco reject the lead and silver casket?
Answers
Answer:
REASONS OF REJECTING LEAD CASKET :-
Morocco read the inscription on the lead casket which stated that whoever selects it must be prepared to give all, and to risk everything. Morocco declares that no one except a fool would risk everything for the sake of a piece of dull lead. This casket bore a dismal warning. Those who risk everything only run that risk if they have good reason to think they will reap a rich reward. A man of Noble mind and high spirit will not lower himself to consider a worthless thing just as the leaden casket appears to be. He rejects it as he decides he will risk nothing for so poor a reward. Later, he says that it is too crude a metal even to enclose the winding sheet when she is buried in the grave.
REASONS FOR REJECTING THE SILVER CASKET :-
Morocco read the inscription on the lead casket which stated one who makes a choice of it will be awarded regarding to his merits. Morocco stops there and imagines his personal worth. If he takes his esteem in which he is held as standard of measurements,his merits may be very high indeed. Even then, they may not be high enough to deserve the lady Portia, as her reputation is greater than his, Yet again, if he is too backward, and too ready to depreciate himself, he will lose his chance. According to his merits, he is he merits the lady.
He deserves her because they are both alike in rank, in wealth and in manners. Above all, he is worthy of her in his deep affection. He almost decides on the silver casket but takes up the golden casket again. He says that such a rich gem can never be set in anything less than gold.
It is a sinful thought to think that Portia is contained in the silver casket because it is only a tenth of the value of pure gold. So, for these reasons he rejects the silver casket.
