Q

conclusion

A

Lorenzo’s character develops. Ends up that the fact she is a Jew separates them. When he is the host of portia’s house, he becomes selfish and egotistic as he believes he is a ‘gentleman’ with this new position. Despite this, we feel sympathy as he struggles to gain power, being undermined by Launcelot and Jessica.
