Flaw in Brightness:The Limitations of the Character Portia

摘要：

　　As a character in Shakespeares works,Portia is a bourgeoisie new woman in the time of Renaissance,but she is many-sided and inevitably,there are marks of old time on her: she cant get rid of feudal ethics and the stale religious doctrine; she is not a perfect embodiment of the ideal humanism but a woman who has human weakness and is limited by the history and her class.A thorough analysis of Portias characteristics would further reveal the social conflicts in the play and deepen our understanding of Shakespeares unique creative style,artistic skill and great thoughts.
