According to the 5-act play structure, the climax or turning point of the play should have happened in the third act. Did it happen? If so, what was it and what central conflict was addressed? If not, discuss the central conflict that has not yet been resolved.

By act three a lot of different things have happened. Jessica has run away from Shylock The Jew with a large portion of his money to live with Lorenzo. Antonio's boats are rumored to have crashed at sea. As well as Bassanio chose the right chest winning Portia's hand in marriage. Portia and Nerissa have also left to go to a monastery until their husbands return home and left Jessica and Lorenzo in charge at home. These things leave a lot of things unanswered and unaddressed. This part of the book is definitely the climax because everything is all becoming very dramatic and in the next two scenes things might become resolved and people might all come together. Either way, the problems that came to our attention in the third act will be addressed.
