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.
