Shakespeare Act 2 Scene 7,8,9

Act Two Scene 7

1. Price of Morocco thinks that the golden casket contains Portia's portrait because on the golden casket it says "He who chooses me will get what many men want." Also the Prince of Morocco thinks that the other caskets, silver and lead isn't worth Portia.

2. She feels confident that the Prince of Morocco won't pick the correct one and she is right. At the end she doesn't feel nervous at all because she knows he isn't going to choose the right casket.

3. I think Shylock (Jessica's Father) is trying to get rid of men who is greedy for Jessica and making them not able to marry anymore so there are less people like that. It seems like it's working since everybody has chosen the wrong one so far.

Act Two Scene 8

1. Jessica left Shylock and stole his ducats (Money) in the form of jewellery.

2. Shylock thinks that Jessica and Lorenzo are in Bassanio's ship

3.  Bassanio and Antonio part by having Bassanio checking on a rumour that a ship full of treasure sunk in the English channel.

Act Two Scene 9

1. I think it's a riddle trying to trick greedy people and maybe some idiots as well so they don't get their hands on Portia.

2. The Prince of Aragon thinks that the phrase on the golden casket is a trick because it says "What many men desire" and he thinks the "many" are fools or he thinks it just money.

3. I guess Portia is excited for Bassanio's arrival and I think she wants Bassanio to choose the right casket.

Shakespeare Act 2 Scene 6

1. How does Launcelot manage to tell Jessica that Lorenzo will 

be there that evening?

Launcelot talks to Shylock then quickly whispers to Jessica that there will be a Christian worth a Jewess glance outside the window.

2. What does Jessica throw down to Lorenzo?

A box of treasure like full of jewellery.

3. Why is Antonio looking for Gratiano?

For the masquerade and everybody is looking for him
