Apparently the notorious runaway Jessica has been wasting her daddy's ducats. She has reportedly traded a very valuable ring of Shylock's for a pet monkey. But this story has a romantic twist! Jessica has run away to marry the man she loves, Lorenzo, and become a Christian.
We finally have a winner of Portia's lottery! Sorry to all of you men who didn't even get a chance. Portia's new suitor is none other than Bassanio of Venice.
Unfortunately Antonio has lost his prized ships and with them all of his ducats. With all three ships gone, Antonio has failed to pay off his loan to Shylock. He has gone to prison and him and Shylock will battle it out in court whether or not to follow the bond. Portia and her servant Nerissa left after Bassanio headed to Venice to try to help his poor friend Antonio but their is no word one where they are headed.
