Answer:
Portia is beautiful, gracious, rich, intelligent and quick-witted, with high standards for her potential romantic partners. She is bound by the lottery set forth in her father's will, which gives potential suitors the chance to choose between three caskets composed of gold, silver and lead.
Explanation:
The relationship between Portia and her dead father is patriarchal, as he exerts control over her life even after his death. Although she is a strong and intelligent woman who can convincingly present herself as a male in the courtroom and win a legal case, she is not allowed to choose her own husband.
