why is arragon in this place
Answers
The Prince of Arragon. The Prince of Arragon is a prince of Spain and a suitor to Portia's hand. He is a pretentious, supercilious elitist, disdaining all that is common.
Arragon rejects lead because of the ominous warning, and thinks that gold refers to the foolish populace. Instead he chooses silver which indicates he will receive what he deserves. Arragon is arrogant and proud. This is shown through his reaction to choosing the wrong casket.
Bassanio refuses gold because he knows that "all that glisters is not gold." He also refuses silver, calling it "common drudge 'tween man and man," as coins are. He chooses lead because he knows that true worth lies inside, even if the outside doesn't look like much. The lead is more like HIM than like Portia.
