What were the inspiration on the lead and silver caskets |
|
Answer» Answer: As we SAW earlier, in act 2, scene 7, the inscription on the LEAD casket reads: "Who chooseth me must give and hazard all he HATH." BASSANIO SHOWS himself a worthy suitor by ignoring all the surface glitter of the gold and silver caskets and choosing the lead casket, the one that symbolizes humility and modesty. |
