It's far from the only theme. There are, however, a number of couples and love-plots. Generally, the course of true love is, as is often the case, impeded by the wishes of an older generation. Portia cannot choose her husband; he must choose her, and by means of the casket game. Because this is a comedy, he chooses right. Nerissa also makes her marriage to Gratiano conditional on Bassiano making the right choice.
The story of Jessica and Lorenzo might also be a story of love, as Shylock would surely not approve her choice of husband, so she must elope. However, Jessica's motivation in going with Lorenzo is not love: she says "our house is Hell" and "what heinous sin is it in me to be ashamed to be my father's child". She is running off with Lorenzo as a means to escape from Shylock, not because she loves Lorenzo.
Other themes in the play are Revenge, Prejudice, Fidelity, Law and Mercy.
