I still hate my Brother at times.

It depends who has been there for you when you needed it and the other way around.

# data[].attributes.body
i feel like blood is a stronger bond because they have been there through thick and thin. a love relationship can end and the love would fade. but a family love is kinda hard it will always be there no matter what.

# data[].attributes.body
Sure blood runs thicker than water,but sometime blood clots.

I don't think you will have to change if someone really loves you.

# data[].attributes.body
Your partner should love you for who you are and you shouldnt have to change your lifestyle for them.

# data[].attributes.body
Is it really love if you have to change yourself for love?

I would lend money to a friend regardless if they have hurt me multiple times because i would want someone to do that for me. -Katelin Cameron

You should be able to choose who you want to marry, marriage is a big deal and you should be happy with who you will spend the rest of your life with      ( answering Jordans question about Portias opinion on the way her husband was chosen )

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like you have to always think of the immediate consequences.

# data[].attributes.body
i feel like you can be successful on your own. You don't need to be in a relationship or have anyone to be able to get things done right.

# data[].attributes.body
If you don't have money etc. but find someone who does,than yeah.Make that bank.

If I were in Portia's position I would follow what my father wanted out of respect for him. -Ktelin Cameron

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, I would still follow my father's rules because back then, it was still a patriarchy system

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think its ok to take someones life over a bond, and if it's someone who really deserves it I think they should still just be put in jail because otherwise it doesn't teach a lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
It shows who protia really wanted as a Husband or who she favors.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think that Portia liked her father's rules but she obviously respected what he wanted. -Katelin Cameron

# data[].attributes.body
i feel like there's no good or bad guy. each person did what they felt was right even if the outcome wasn't best for everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was her way of expressing herself rather than to be rude.She doesn't get a true say in her marriage

# data[].attributes.body
The lead is the most logical one because it's a common thing to downplay something.

depending on the type of test, yes they can show your personality. say a flood is happening in your town and the first thing you think of is how to help other people that shows that you care alot about other people and are selfless. -christina

i feel like shylock will have a hard life and hold a grudge against antonio

Well, two negatives do make a positive. But in terms-of revenge, it does depend on how bad someone wronged you.

# data[].attributes.body
do you think Portia and Bassanio will stay together?

# data[].attributes.body
The revenge you inflict back on to someone will most likely correspond with how the per

# data[].attributes.body
In a negative context, describing a person as a Jew could be taken as an insult.

# data[].attributes.body
i think it depends on how wrong someone did you

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think it's right to get revenge because two wrongs don't make a right.

# data[].attributes.body
i would rather support my partner and they support me too. we are both equal so why should i only depend on one person when i am a my own person

# data[].attributes.body
I think it would be best for the two to make their own money and provide for each other when needed to.

# data[].attributes.body
I would because you can buy happiness. It is possible to buy things that make you happy.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Portia's father would disapprove of Bassanio after he learns of Bassanios true origins and his prior agendas throughout the play.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the reason why Portia’s Dad had the caskets was because he believed that whoever truly loved her would know which casket to pick.

# data[].attributes.body
being in a relationship requires you to make sacrifices, so if you really wanted to make it work you would make that choice

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that a woman should be able to choose the person that she marries so she is aware of the type of person that he is and how he treats the world.

# data[].attributes.body
It was a way to showcase what type of people they were.

# data[].attributes.body
i think the father would like Bassanio because the father wants someone who loves Portia not someone who desires her for her money

I feel like in most cases having multiple religions in one household would not work because of the conflicts that would present themselves. Marriage already, to me, seems very fragile as it is. -Natalie Ferrell

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the 2 different point of views might cause problems but if they truly love each other then they could just respect each others opinions.

# data[].attributes.body
if religion isnt a major part of you then it shouldnt be a big deal to swich it for someone who is a big part of you. they also might be asking you to change religions out of love for you and they might think it will improve your quality of life so its not nessicarily a bad thing. -christina

# data[].attributes.body
I would be willing to change my religion for someone if they were THAT much apart of my life. And if two people get married that have different religions and beliefs, then as people who love each other they could work it out.

# data[].attributes.body
You should'nt have to change your religion for approval because they should respect you for who you are.

# data[].attributes.body
I would not change my religion for someone else's approval. They should approve of who I am and my religion.

arranged marriages mostly depend on money. -kamaymay

# data[].attributes.body
money can buy you things that make your life better which can make you more happy
money= happiness

# data[].attributes.body
I think people from other religions could marry each other they would just have to understand each others religion

# data[].attributes.body
I do not believe that love at first sight exists; loving someone and being in love with someone are two different things that are formed off of different occurrences or bases.

# data[].attributes.body
Arranged marriage leads back to the idea of a parent deciding what is best for their child even though it may make them unhappy. -Natalie Ferrell

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think shylock would've not been so angry if he was'nt discriminated because of his religion ,and/or do you think He is that way because of the characters that he interacted with?

# data[].attributes.body
Yes i think it's possible to fall in love after the fact because you actually get to know the person better.

# data[].attributes.body
i think love at first sight does not exist. you might see some one potential of loving them or think their good looking or what ever but i think its just misuse of the word. -christina

It really does depend on the promise that was made-Kamaymay

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think two people can fall in love at first sight. They need to establish a true connection before falling in love.

# data[].attributes.body
A promise should be kept to a certain extent; however, the one who made the promise has to acknowledge what it would take to kee

# data[].attributes.body
if i knew what best for them i would tell them and if they decide not to do the right thing its on them. of course i would still push them but to a certain extent

@Joselyn  question yes and no someone could be in puppy love but that's it. Eventually that love will fade. It could also lead to if they had put the effort they might not have love fade and build a real connection.

# data[].attributes.body
I would make rules even if it made them unhappy because ultimately I would be looking out for them.

I would name the book The Princess and the Jew because the book revolves around those two characters. -Natalie Ferrell

If someone risked the casket test then they really wanted to be with portia and if they were fit to marry her then they would pass the test. - jose g

So that she dosent get stuck with guys that’s are jerks and don’t want her for who’s she is. He purposely picked the lead because he knew that’s only a true man would pick that.

# data[].attributes.body
i would definitely take my parents ideas into consideration, but if i really wanted to do something and if i was passionate enough, i would do it because it makes me happy. but my parents do know a lot more than i do and most of the time children are naive and unaware

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t believe in love at first sight. Because you would be going off their looks. That’s why dates we’re made so that you can figure the person out and than start dating them.

# data[].attributes.body
You cant live in the shadow of your parents forever, you have to follow your own path - jose g

# data[].attributes.body
I would go by what my parents say because they know what's right for me and if they felt that was the way I was going to find love then I would do what they wanted me to do. My parents know what's best for me and know the right path for me to take.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel as if love at first sight does not exist because you do not fall in love with the person at first sight, you fall in love with their looks. To truly say you love someone, you have to love everything about them, their flaws and all. You cannot know that you love them for certain unless you actually get to know them, and that cant be at first sight

I think Portia said father was just hoping to find her the smartest and humblest man. The one who he felt deserved her.

I think you can find someone attractive at first sight - jose g

I believe falling in love at first sight is something that some may believe, but like what kassy said i agree with her because you don't truly know that person and you're just falling in love with their looks

# data[].attributes.body
love at first sight does not exist because you can't love someone without knowing who they are as a person.

i dont believe in love at first sight because , when you see someone, you dont know how that person is on the inside, to love someone you must fall in love with their personality and not just their looks

# data[].attributes.body
I would wait till i knew for certain that this person has my trust and i have actually built a true connection and have grown to love this person for who they are and not just react out of a since of being afraid of being alone

# data[].attributes.body
i would give it about 2 years to make it a wife

# data[].attributes.body
I think Portia wanted to marry by her fathers ways because it was something that was important to her and may have been a tradition.

# data[].attributes.body
Portia followed her fathers path because it was one of the last things her father did before he died.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that portia trusted her fathers decision and she trusted that her father knew what he was doing when he created the "game"

# data[].attributes.body
I think Portia still wants to marry by her fathers test because she respects her fathers wishes and believes her knew what he was doing

# data[].attributes.body
i do believe in love at first sight because there are some people that just connect right when they see each other, its like you have known them your whole life

if Shylock was christan non of the things would have happened to him b/c everything led to up to shylock being Jewish Jason Carr

I think the decision to use caskets to find a suitor was dependent on Portia's father's faith.

My definition of love is to appreciate each other above all others, to live side by side, understand each other’s goals and ambitions, and realizing how happy you make each other. You should never live for someone, but with them. My parents show this to me every day.

# data[].attributes.body
Despite Isabella's comment about not being able to fall in love with a person multiple times throughout your life, I disagree. In my opinion, the more you learn about them, their habits, flaws, personality and opinions, the more you might realize you love them. Therefore, you might not necessarily repeatedly fall in love with someone but you might fall in love deeper with them.

# data[].attributes.body
love at first sight depends on the person because people have diffrent times on how long it takes to fall in love... idk though Jason Carr

What happens when you start to see those qualities you fell in love with wither away? Isn't that falling out of love? -Erica Harpool
