 Studying the Merchant of Venice, here's how you can analyse Act 2, Scene 1. The scene opens with the stage directions telling us that the Prince of Morocco has arrived to try and win Portia's hand in marriage. The Prince speaks in half Ryan's hair to basically ask Portia not to judge him just because he's darker skinned. The Prince alludes to the theme of prejudice in the stay hair when he speaks in Iron Bit Pentameter, basically saying that just because he's darker skinned, it doesn't mean he's not as brave as any European. Portia then refers to her father's will and basically says she doesn't really have a choice in picking him if he picks the right casket, she has to marry him. The Prince is happy to hear this and he speaks in this imperative sentence to ask Portia to lead him to the casket. He then speaks in hyperbole hair basically saying that he would attack a lion and a bear if that means he would win Portia's heart. Portia then takes into the casket and reminds him of the harsh conditions of her father's will. Basically, if he picks right, he can marry her but if he picks wrong, he can never marry any woman ever. The Prince agrees to this condition.
