Answer:

Portia's opening line describes mercy is forgiving, generous and godlike quality.

Explanation:

  • She conveys the idea that mercy is a tender and noble feeling, and mercy must come directly from one's heart.
  • It blesses those who show mercy, which not only makes them feel good, but also brings heavenly rewards.
  • When someone wants to exact revenge, but opts for mercy, he displays divine,God-like attributes.
  • Portia is referred to as an upright, noble benevolent lady, but close reading of the play shows she is a proud,cunning woman.Her best qualities are her logic and intelligence.
  • These efforts however, have no effect on Shylock.

What is the most important event that happened in chapter 8 of the book, The outsiders and why?
Rama09 [41]

Answer: The most important event in chapter eight of <u>The Outsiders</u> is Ponyboy and Randy's conversation outside of the diner. The significance of  this scene is that Randy and Ponyboy find a common ground by talking about Bob and the school children. Randy realizes that Greasers are more than just hot-headed guys who like to fight, and Pony realizes that just because the Socs are different, they are people too, just like him. They both leave with a better understanding of each other, almost like bridging a gap between the Socs and Greasers.
