Portia seems to be satisfied when the Prince of Morocco’s choice of the caskets is wrong. There
is something casually cruel about Portia’s unwillingness to spare
even a moment’s pity for the Moor.
Portia's independence is often appealing, at other times she can seem terribly
self-centered. She wants Bassanio as a husband and seems to have
no regrets in seeing other suitors sentenced to a life of celibacy.
Despite being praised for acting like a gentleman and not raging,
Portia was nevertheless relieved. This shows that Portia may be a racist.
