Portia is the rich daughter of Belmont and heiress to her dead father's fortune. We first hear of her as a rich woman who could be the answer to all of Bassanio's money troubles. But Portia turns out to be much more than a rich plot-device. This woman is one of Shakespeare's deeper female characters - she's a good girl, but she knows what she wants and how to get it, even if her methods are a bit unconventional.
