Why is portia careful with her words in the merchant of Venice?
Portia has to be careful what she says in two parts of the play. First, when her suitors are put to the lottery, she is forbidden from giving them hints (although who is going to tell is not exactly clear). Secondly, when she is impersonating a lawyer at a trial, she has to be careful what she says because, well, she is a lawyer at a trial. They always have to be careful what they say.

Who is protagonist in the merchant of Venice?
Antonio is the Merchant of Venice in The Merchant Of Venice. Is he the hero? No. He is not really charming, and so far from being wealthy that he has to borrow money from Shylock to pay for Bassanio's wooing. The charming and wealthy hero of The Merchant of Venice is Portia, who saves Antonio's life by a legal swindle and ends up triumphantly married to Bassanio, who has been chastened and tamed (just like Katharine in The Taming of the Shrew) by her dodge with his wedding ring.

When and where does act one scene two take place in romeo and Juliet?

How did Shakespeare's acting background affect his writing?
Part of the reason that Shakespeare was such a good playwright is that he had in mind while writing his plays the practical problems (and opportunities) presented by the theatrical conventions of his day, many of which still concern today's theatre. For example, in The Merchant of Venice Portia, disguised as the lawyer Balthazar, demands that her husband give her his wedding ring as a fee for her successful conduct of a legal matter on his behalf. The action then switches to Portia's house in Belmont where she will face him with the loss of his ring. But the next thing that happens is a scene where Lorenzo and Jessica, the couple who are looking after Portia's place in her absence, say a lot of soppy things to each other, beginning with the words "On such a night . . ." You may ask, what is the point of that scene? Well, the point is that the actor or actress playing Portia needs time to get out of the Balthazar costume and into the Portia costume, and the actors playing Lorenzo and Jessica are buying that time.

How tall is Portia Victoria?
There is a chance that these websites are wrong because Ellen showed her audience (on her show) that she is taller than Portia, Ellen is listed as being 5' 7.5" nearly everywhere, but here is a list of heights that Portia is: people.famouswhy.com say Portia is 5' 8" celebheights.com say Portia is 5' 7.25" www.celebs101.com also say she is 5' 8" It seems that she is between 5' 7" and 5' 8", but its is not entirely fact on her height, all I know is that she is shorter that Ellen who is listed as being 5ft 7.5in pretty much everywhere. (It doesn't help that Portia wears heels when in public) I hope that helps.
