Final answer:

Portia expresses her concerns about the Prince of Morocco choosing the golden casket in Shakespeare's play 'The Merchant of Venice'. She implies that she is not attracted to him based on external factors such as race.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Shakespeare's play 'The Merchant of Venice', Portia is one of the main characters who speaks about the Prince of Morocco. In Act 1, Scene 2, Portia reveals her opinion of the Prince when she discusses the caskets with her servant Nerissa. She expresses her worries that the Prince of Morocco may choose the golden casket, which represents appearance rather than true worth. Portia implies that she is not attracted to the Prince based on external factors such as his race, stating 'Let all of his complexion choose me so.' However, the provided passages do not relate to that work nor do they contain information about Portia's opinions on the Prince of Morocco. Therefore, I cannot provide an accurate response to this question based on the given extracts.
