Nerissa is Portia's
servant but they act as friends most of the times. Nerissa
advises Portia, often telling her about her duty to her father who is dead, especially when the suitors who want to marry Portia are
choosing their caskets.
Nerissa join in when Portia
disguises herself as a man in the court room scene at the end. After
this, they play tricks on their husbands - after all, these women are smarter than their men.
They have a close relationship, even though Portia has a higher status than Nerissa.
