Portia and Nerissa make fun of their husbands, Bassanio and Gratiano, by playfully teasing them about their willingness to give away their rings, which they had promised never to part with. After disguising themselves as a lawyer and his clerk, they cleverly challenge their husbands to retrieve the rings, mocking their supposed loyalty and commitment. Their banter highlights the theme of love and fidelity while also showcasing the cleverness and agency of the women in the play. Ultimately, their playful teasing reveals deeper insights into their relationships.
