Study portia's opening lines beginning with: 'The quality of mercy is not strained...' What are the different qualities of mercy

Vilka [71]

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.
