Question

why is Monsieur le bon accepted as a man in act 1 scene 2 by portia​

Answer 1

Answer:

In act 1, scene 2 of Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, Portia's nurse, Nerissa, explains the premise of the "three caskets" from which Portia's suitors must choose and asks Portia to describe the suitors who have thus far sought her hand in marriage.

NERISSA. Your father was ever virtuous; and holy men at their

death have good inspirations; therefore, the lottery that

he hath devised in these three chests, of gold, silver, and

lead, (whereof who chooses his meaning chooses you,)

will, no doubt, never be chosen by any rightly, but one

who you shall rightly love. But what warmth is there in

your affection towards any of these princely suitors that

are already come?
