Answer: In Merchant of Venice, Portia is a beautiful woman and obedient daughter, while Jessica is defiant and unreliable.

Explanation:

The Merchant of Venice is a comedy written by William Shakespeare. The main heroine of the play, Portia, is wealthy, beautiful, and so loyal that even after her father passed away, she respects the lottery protocol for potential suitors that her father set forth in his will. Jessica, on the other hand, disappoints her Jewish father (Shylock) by running away with a Christian (Lorenzo) and stealing his ducats, thus also abandoning her religion.

What is a good Claim for Fahrenheit 451 part 2

Andreyy89

Answer:

Fahrenheit 451 demonstrates the dangers of a society focused only on the immediate gratification of the present. This society has all but erased history. Its members derive meaningless pleasure from watching their "families" on futuristic televisions and don't engage in any meaningful conversations.
