Results of the Casket test

Yes!!! Yes!   Thank god for granting my wish. Fortunately, none of them pass the tough and tricky test. Prince Morroco choose the Gold casket, which reveals that he is a very superficial man. While Prince Arragon picked the Silver caskets which proves that he is a lives in his dreams but has good judgement.






Arrival of Prince Morroco and Prince Arragon


Oh my! More princes coming?!?! SmileyI am so not going to marry any one of them No ! I am going to make it clear to them that I am not a bit interested in any of them at all. Hope that they will retreat after I tell them about the strict rules of the casket test. Wish that they do not pass the test.

Those suitors

Today, I was talking to Nerrisa, my maid and my best friend about the men from everywhere flocking here to pursue me. Are they hereSmiley eyeing for my moneySkype emoticons-64-cash, or my beautyEmoticon, or is it that just purely for my love Small Emoticons?
First, There was this Neapolitan prince.Horseback Riding I really wonder what is he here for? All he does is to talk about his horse, which I am not interested about at all! Besides, he is too young and therefore too immature in terms of his mentality, he also do not have the kind of charm that could  mesmerize me.


Then, comes the European prince Be Sad . He looks so depressed and solemn. Furthermore, he is such a introvert. I will never marry him!


After which, there is this French lord who is much better than those two prince previously. Nevertheless, nobody is perfect, this man has an unpredictable mood swing, he changes his mood suddenly Nasty Teeth , it is as if marrying twenty husbands if I marry him.


Following up is the England man. We have communication barrier, he cannot speak Latin, French, or Italian and I can barely speak English. Moreover, he has extremely bad fashion sense.

Next up is the Scottish lord, he is very violent; he is unreasonable; he loves to pick a fight for
nothing Gangster . 

Last but not least, acceptable, he loves to drink, has no manners and acts like a
animal Chugger .
No, No No!!!! I would rather die as a virgin than marry any one of them!

The Casket Test

I hate the word "choose"!Smiley
For I have no freedom to choose whom I like or dislike.
My father had just passed away, leaving me a large sum of inheritance of which most probably most of my suitors are after of and partly my beauty that they are attracted to. Additionally, he had also implemented a rule in his will that I am only fit to inherit his legacy if I abide to his casket test. In this casket test, there will be three casket, the lead, silver and gold caskets, for whoever wishes to marry me to choose. If he manage to pick the correct one, I must marry him, no matter what. I am very sadSmiley and dissatisfied Smileywith his decision but I will still accept it because I need to respect him since he is my father although he has already passed away.

Who am I ???

This is me!
Hi!  My name is Portia.Smiley I live in belmont.

What is this blog on ???

Summary of The Merchant of Venice
Basically, this blog is on a character, named Portia, in The Merchant of Venice, written by "the bard", William Shakespeare who was famous for his poems and plays. The Merchant of Venice is a play that depicts the society of Italy in those days which displays friendship, loyalty, love, relationships, money, emotions, power, racism and enmity. A spendthirft, Bassanio, borrows money from his best friend, Antonio, who is a merchant, to woo a heiress, Portia because Bassanio is in heavy debts and he wants to pay off his debts by marrying Portia, then use her inheritance to pay his debtors. However, Antonio does not have any money in hand to lend Bassanio as all his money is invested in the ships and goods which are still at the sea. Therefore, he decides to let Bassanio borrow money from other people under his name. Shylock, a Jewish money-lender, agrees to borrow 3000 ducats to the duo, provided that they return the money back to him by 3 month's time, if not, Antonio shall compensate by his pound of flesh. The deal was on.
