Merchant of Venice
What is the outcome of Morrocco's choice in act two scene one?
answer
answer
Morrocco's choice isn't revealed until scene 7. Portia hands him the key, and he opens the casket to reveal a golden skull. The skull holds a written scroll that poetically indicates that he chose superficially. The Prince departs after a hasty farewell. Portia watches him go, and remarks, "A gentle riddance. Draw the curtains, go. / Let all of his complexion choose me so" (2.7.78-79).
