In William Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice," Portia's father's will stipulates that she cannot choose her own husband. Instead, suitors must choose between three caskets—gold, silver, and lead—each containing a different message about true worth and love. The suitor who selects the casket that holds Portia's portrait will win her hand in marriage. This condition reflects her father's desire to ensure that Portia's husband truly values her for who she is, rather than for her wealth.
