Nerissa is Portia's woman in waiting. She listens to Portia complain about her life and the unfairness of the
casket contest and tells her to suck it up and be glad her father was
wise enough to plan for his daughter's future. This, of course, tells
us that Nerissa is a very practical girl.
Nerissa marries Gratiano and escorts
Portia on Portia’s trip to Venice by disguising herself as her law
clerk. They are very close despite the fact that Portia is higher in status.
