Vilka [71]

Answer:

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

Explanation:

  • 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.
