Why does Portia disapprove of the County Palatine? Who would she rather marry?

Open in App
Solution

Portia disapproves County Palatine saying he is always frowning as much to say that if Portia will not marry him, she may choose someone else. He bears happy stones but does not smile. She is afraid that he will become a sad philosopher like Heraclitus when he grows old because he is so sad in his young age.
She would rather be married to a grinning skeleton with a bone in his mouth than to these suitors.
