The story

Bassanio, a young Venetian, wants to travel to Belmont to woo the wealthy heiress Portia.

If Antonio cannot repay the loan at the specified date, Shylock will be free to take a pound of Antonio's flesh.

The suitor who correctly looks past the outward appearance of the caskets will find Portia's portrait inside and win her hand.
