Merchant Of Venice (Act3 Scene 4)


What is Lorenzo's opinion of Antonio?
I think his opinion is that Antonio is a faithful gentleman whose life will not only benefit him but also Portia and Bassanio.

What does Portia tell Lorenzo she intends to do?
Portia intents to send the money to Antonio with no regrets.

What does she ask Lorenzo and Jessica to do for her and why?
She asks that if Lorenzo and Jessica can manage the house until Bassanio comes back.

Why does Portia think Antonio and Bassanio must be alike?
Because they are best friends and best friends must have lots of things in common to be that close.

Why do Portia and Nerissa intend to travel dressed as men? 
They said they were going to the monastery when in reality they were to go to the court and help Antonio.

How does Portia describe the behavior of young men?
She explains that they walk with manly stride, wear their swords gracefully, talk about their fights manliness proudly and exaggerate about their talks with ladies.

Does it seem likely that Portia is going to obey the expected behavior of a wife?
No, because she is willing to help out her husband and friends herself rather than Bassanio helping himself like what would be expected of him.
