	Portia & Shylock: Outsiders of Venice
		Portia uses money as Antonio has used it, to secure the happiness of those around her: her wealth now sustains the prodigal Bassanio, and her house shelters both Shylock's thrown away servant and his runaway daughter.
		Portia's wealth means an expansion of possibilities, a musical movement through life that may at times catch brief echoes (even in "this muddy vesture of decay") of that purer music which sounds in the heavens.
		So, when Portia says, "Then must the Jew be merciful" (4.1.181), she is one alien speaking to another, appealing to their common humanity, pointing to the possible perils that may pierce it, and arguing that all such fragile souls stand in need of compassion.

		Facing her are all kinds of expectations, not least from the most well-off in the society, who think the gravy train has got to keep running on their tracks.
		Portia has said she wants to "make Jamaica work", and I understand from this not only that she wants to get people back to gainful employment, but that she wants Jamaica to begin to function again as a civilised, safe and peaceful community of productive and happy people.
		So Portia will need volunteers from every class if she is going to be able to listen to the ordinary Jamaican people and help them organise themselves out of penury, misery, disease dependency and crime.

		The JLP leaders tried to put on a brave, smiling face but they must have been plunged into depression at the prospect- indeed almost certainty-that they would be to in the wilderness for another five years at least.
		For if the JLP can convince the country that as loveable and caring as Portia is, she cannot manage her party and bring cohesiveness to her Cabinet, and then the Jamaican people can be convinced that a unified JLP is the answer.
		If I were a Portia loyalist in the party, I would ensure that I have no public quarrels with Peter Phillips Solid as a Rock people, at least until my leader has secured her own mandate.

	Portia now faces life - hard, cold and not for the faint of heart - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		In the 1950s, when, as we used to say, the devil was a boy, and RJR was a little boy in short pants, it used to broadcast an extremely popular daytime soap opera called Portia Faces Life.
		And today, a week after the PNP delegates spoke their piece, loud and clear, in that admirable exercise in democracy, it is the turn of today's real-life, flesh-and-blood Portia, to face life after the euphoria demonstrated by those delegates and affirmed by her parliamentary colleagues a couple of days later.
		But Ms Portia has been in the political trenches a long time - since she was a teenager in a rough area of the capital city - and understands many of those problems only too clearly from first-hard experience.

		Some have accused Portia's actions as a mere ploy to boost her national image and to gain popularity.
		Portia is already a very popular politician in this country and if she was seeking to build her popularity for a possible leadership race in the PNP, wouldn't going against the wishes of her party hurt her more than help when the time comes for party members to vote for a new leader?
		Portia Simpson Miller took a bold step by backing Jamaica and not her party in Parliament recently.

		However, since those initial revelations about Portia and Francesca, the two women have conducted themselves and their relationship with a level of dignity and grace that has, possibly, re-written the book on how to be publicly in love with someone of the same gender.
		After the news first hit the airwaves, Portia and Francesca seemed to ignore all requests for interviews that might involve questions about their relationship.
