This shows that she has feelings of love for Bassanio and does not want to lose him soon.   Answer 3: Portia cannot teach Bassanio to choose the correct casket as she has promised her father not to reveal the secret of the caskets to anyone. She would never break her promise. If Bassanio were to make an incorrect choice, Portia would ha
