"As much as I deserve--why, that's the lady!" (2.7.36)
This quote shows how Morocco thinks very highly of himself. He thinks he is good enough to deserve Portia. The fact that he thought about picking the silver casket proves he has a a big ego. Morocco decides to pick the gold casket instead, but that means that he wanted what every man desired. He was not original, and did not think outside the box. But Morocco saying he thinks he deserves Portia, it comes across like he looks at her like an object and not as as person.
