who marries portia in the merchant of venice
Portia (The Merchant of Venice) Despite Portia's lack of formal legal training, she wins her case by referring to the details of the exact language of the law. Her success involves prevailing on technicalities rather than the merits of the situation. She uses the tactics of what is sometimes called a Philadelphia lawyer. However, the concept of rhetoric and its abuse is also brought to light by Portia – highlighting the idea that an unjust argument may win through eloquence, loopholes and technicalities, regardless of the moral question at hand – and thus provoking the audience to consider that issue. After a few months, Portia and Bassanio live together along with Nerissa and her husband, and Antonio. Shylock has his job back but only half his money and Jessica and Lorenzo are found in Portia's castle.
