उत्तर
(i) The Prince of Morocco tried his luck in choosing the golden casket before the Prince of Arragon.
He finds an empty human skull with a scroll in its hollow eye in which it is written that those who are attracted by the glittering outside of things are always deceived.
(ii) He promises Portia that he will abide by her father's rules, that He must never tell anyone which casket he had chosen. If he fails to choose the right casket, He will never court another woman; and he will leave Belmont immediately.
(iii) The inscription on the golden casket was, "Who chooseth me shall gain what many men desire". The martlet is like the many men who choose by outward show or appearance; they do not see the inner worth of things.
(iv) Arragon chooses the Silver Casket. He finds the portrait of .a blinking idiot - a picture of a fool's head. The lead casket contains Portia's portrait.
(v) After the departure of the Prince of Arragon, the servant announces that a young Venetian named Gratiana has arrived in order to announce the approach of his master Bassanio who has sent warm greetings and rich presents ·to Portia
