"A Pound of Flesh" is not the name of the play. It's called The Merchant of Venice. And this is all the description you get of her:
In Belmont is a lady richly left;
And she is fair, and, fairer than that word,
Of wondrous virtues: sometimes from her eyes
I did receive fair speechless messages:
Her name is Portia
It doesn't tell you much, does it?
What else can I help you with?
Who was the main character in a pound of flesh by shakespeare?
Actually, there is no play by Shakespeare called "A Pound of Flesh". The phrase is an important phrase in Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice. Originally the main characters in this play were Bassanio and Portia, but as time went on, more and more big name actors wanted to play the main character in the subplot, Shylock, to the extent that Shylock is now considered to be the main character (along with Portia). The "Merchant of Venice" himself, a character called Antonio, is not the main character of the play.

He also says that it's better to be cheated than to be unloving, and that Jesus Christ's death on the cross is an example of this type of love.
