Merchant of Venice
why does portia experience weariness of the world? explain
ACT 1 Scene 2
ACT 1 Scene 2
Portia's weariness is questionable..... she certainly doesn't have the same troubles as the rest of the cast. We can see, however, why she'd be weary of her father's game..... a game that will choose her husband, and over which, she doesn't have very much control..... just a steady stream of men ready and willing to marry both her and her fortune.
