“So may the outward shows be least themselves;The world is still deceiv’d with ornament.In law what plea so tainted and corrupt, but, being seasn’d with a gracious voice, Obscures the show of evil? In religion, what damned error but some sober brow will bless it and approve it with a text0, Hiding the grossness with a fair ornament.” Bassanio is saying that what the casket is made of could have very little resemblance on whats inside. So even though the lead casket doesn’t look as nice as the others it could still be just as valuable. I chose this passage because it shows how wise Bassanio is and it shows his view point on things. This also shows that Portia sees how princes and people that pursue will think about which casket to chose. What do you think this shows about Bassanio. What would your thought process have been if you were Portia trying to pick which casket to put the picture in.
