The three caskets were gold, silver and dull lead. Portia couldn't even choose her own husband, all because Portia is awash with suitors. Her father has left a will
stipulating each of her suitors must choose correctly from one of three
caskets – one each of gold, silver, and lead. If he chooses the right
casket, he gets Portia. However, if he loses, he must go away and never trouble
her or any other woman again with a proposal of marriage.
