Is Bassanio is coming?

I heard from the messenger that a fine young Venetian has approached me! This got me thinking. Who it would be? I can't wait any longer, I got to find out who it is! I was soooo curious. I immediately rushed to see who was here. I could tell by the look of Nerissa's expression that she really hopes it's Bassanio too!

Not again, here comes the Prince of Arragon.

My next suitor, the Prince of Arragon came to make his choice of the caskets today. As usual, I was very anxious about the result. Similar to Morocco, he wanted to make a wise decision. However, he took it for granted! Luck was all he needed, according to Arragon.

Finally, he made his mind and chose the silver casket. He opened it, there it was... THE PORTRAIT OF A BLINKING IDIOT! HAHAH! Apparently, it states he is a fool. I can't agree more! They were spending far too much time thinking too hard about the choice of the caskets. Don't they believe in true love? Goodness!

Good news!

Great, so dinner is over. I have to say, I did not enjoy my dinner as I was far too concerned about the outcome. 'What will happen if the prince chose the right casket? Won't my love life be over? Then again, why must my father do this? Outrages!', I thought to myself.

Right after dinner, I brought Morocco to pick the casket. He took a long while. He was deep in his thoughts as the casket he chooses will determine whether or not he will marry me. Then, he finally chose one. The gold casket. I gave him the lock and he unlocked it. Guess what it contained? A skull!

Obviously, I was more than contented when he got it wrong. :)

His reaction was priceless! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkukUcEigeE

Prince of Morocco? Oh no......

Today the Prince of Morocco came to meet me. It wasn't surprising when he started to flaunt about his looks. To be honest, I didn't really find him that attractive. Sigh, why must daddy restrict my decision to marry the person who I really love! :( It's dinner time, hopefully when it is time to choose the casket, he'll pick the casket without my picture! :O

I really dread this! Fingers crossed, pray hard that the prince will not end up as my husband! Ohh Bassanio, where are you?... :( This song explains EXACTLY HOW I FEEL!

Well, dinner is served... Sooo, FARE YE WELL!

SIGNING OFF, PORTIA. <3

Father's ridiculous will.

My father conditioned a will that the suitors must choose the correct casket in order to marry me. This makes me feel uncomfortable. It means that there is a low possibility that I will marry the person who I TRULY love? This is bad.... Also, there are only three caskets!
