How do Plots interact?
Casket:
- Morocco + Aragon go to Portia + choose the wrong caskets
- Bassino comes, arrives with Gratiano
- Portia loves Bassanio + he chooses the lead casket
- Gratiano is going to marry Nerissa
- Lorenzo brings letter from Antonio + Bassino asks Portia for the money + he leaves to save Antonio
- Portia + Nerissa follow then dressed as a man + leaves estate with Lorenzo + Jessica
Bond:
- 3,000 ducats fire
- 3 months or pound of flesh for Bassino’s voyage courting Portia
- Antonio’s boat lost at sea
- Shipwrecked English channel
- Shylock is angry at Jessica for losing money, goes through with threat of taking pound of flesh
- Luckily, Shylock will wait for Bassino
Elopement:
- Everyone knows of plot to elope in night except Shylock
- S+S taunt Shylock by saying Jessica is not his flesh and blood
- Jessica and Lorenzo get to Portia’s castle
- Shylock’s frustration with rebelling daughter losing all his money, tormenting from S+S and Antonio’s ship lost at sea overwhelms Shylock into aggressively demanding Antonio’s pay debt. (Even though pound of flesh won’t do anything for him)
