Why is Portia happy Happier, Happiest
Answers
Explanation:
In William Shakespeare's play "Merchant of Venice", how does Nerissa explain why Portia’s body is “aweary of this great world”? Where does happiness ...
Answer:
Portia tells Bassanio that she wishes she was wealthier, more beautiful and better, not for herself but for him so that he may value her more. She says that she is innocent and inexperienced but she is happy that she is young and can still learn. She is happier that she is intelligent and capable of learning She is happiest that she and all she possesses are his so he can guide her.
Note: this isn't a part of the answer but i would like to add that despite her almost servile attitude where she is giving herself up to him and accepting him as her master, this whole speech is just and act (this is just my opinion of course, it can be interpreted literally) In the end, at the first sign of conflict, when Antonio's letter arrives, Portia is in control and tells Bassanio exactly what to do. (lines 298-313: What no more? pay him six thousand...of your friend) She almost commands him to first marry her, then go back and deface the bond and then to come back with Antonio.
