Merchant Of Venice(Act 3 Scene 5)


In his jokey conversation with Jessica, why is Launcelot against the conversion of Jews to Christianity?
 Because Christians already have enough of their own people, and new Christians will make the price of what they already have, such as bacon, go up. 

What is Jessica's opinion of Portia?
 Portia must have made a good impression on Jessica because she likes her extremely well, deeming Bassanio as blessed to have her as his wife.
