Write a critical note on the dramatic importance of loreanzo Jessica plot showing also it relationship with the other stories in the play the merchant of Venice
Answers
Answer:Jessica is the daughter of Shylock. There is ample testimony in the play to show that she is beautiful. Lorenzo is a Christian. The domestic side of Jessica is painful. Her father has been suspicious and repressive and has denied even ordinary freedom to his daughter and has thus compelled her to revolt and elope. Lorenzo is a friend of Bassanio and a great lover of Jessica. He again and again praises her beauty. Ultimately Lorenzo persuades Jessica to marry her. But they cannot marry openly because Shylock would prevent Jessica from marrying a christian. So they make a plan and Jessica runs away from home in the dress of a servant boy. That time, her father Shylock had gone to attend the farewell party of Bassanio. He had handed over all the keys of the house to Jessica. Thus, Jessica got a chance to take much of her father’s wealth and jewels with her. Then both of them travel to Belmont where they go to Portia’s house. Dramatically it is more significant. This story is highly lyrical and romantic. It furnishes a contrast to the graver and more sober love story of Portia and Bassanio. Reaching Belmont they perform an important dramatic function, they look after the house of Portia and manage it on her behalf when she goes to Venice to defend Antonio in the court. And most of all, the episode furnishes an additional and intensely strong motive for Shylock’s bitterness in pressing his bond.Read more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/469096/discuss-the-dramatic-significance-of-the-lorenzo-jessica-story
