Answer» Answer: Jessica is the daughter of Shylock, a Jewish moneylender, in William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (C. 1598). In the PLAY, she elopes with Lorenzo, a penniless Christian, and a chest of her father's money, eventually ending up in Portia and Bassanio's household. In the play's dramatic structure, Jessica is a minor but pivotal role. Her ACTIONS motivate Shylock's vengeful insistence on his "pound of flesh" from ANTONIO; her RELATIONSHIPS with Lorenzo and Shylock serves as a mirror and contrast to Portia's with Bassanio and with her father; her conversion to Christianity is the end of Shylock's line's adherence to the Jewish faith.
