Answer:

The Prince of Arragon.

Step-by-step explanation:

William Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" revolves around the selection of a worthy husband for Portia, the protagonist, and daughter of a rich merchant. Her father's condition of making the suitors chose between three caskets to be worthy of marrying his daughter led to the many rejections of men but at the same time allowed Portia to successfully get the man she wants.

Among the numerous suitors that Portia received, the most arrogant among them was the Prince of Arragon who came right after the Prince of Morocco. This can be known in his remark "I will not choose what many men desire Because I will not jump with common spirits And rank me with the barbarous multitudes." Here, the "barbarous multitudes" refers to the whole population, which shows he sees himself superior to the others.
