Answer:
Explanation:
Portia's father devised the lottery involving three caskets in The Merchant of Venice to protect his daughter from marrying a superficial man seeking her for her wealth and beauty and ensure that a worthy suitor would win her hand in marriage.
At Belmont, in a room in Portia's house, the Prince of Morocco surveys the three caskets — one of gold, one of silver, and one of lead. ... Morocco reviews the inscriptions again and rejects the lead casket as being not worth the high stakes for which he gambles. He ponders a long time over the silver casket.
