write a fan letter to one of your favorite character in the merchant of Venice
Answers
Answer:
Portia.
Explanation:
I like Portia. She is a woman ahead of her time. She wants to marry for love, not just for social status and wealth and property. She chooses a poor man when she could have any prince she wants.
Portia is also true. She could say to heck with the caskets and marry whomever she chooses, but she abides by her father's wishes. She trusts Bassanio so much that she risks a lot of money for his friend whom she has never met.
Portia is very clever. She fools all the men into believing she is a doctor of law. That took guts. She plays with her husband with the whole ring plot too.
Portia is not perfect--she could show more mercy to Shylock, and maybe the ring plot goes too far. Still, she is among the most admirable characters in all of literature.
