Here is ur answer....
Calpurnia is represented by Shakespeare as the humble and obedient wife of Julius Caesar. Her character is important for the following reasons:
1.To contrast the private, domestic life of Caesar with his public political life: Caesar makes his first appearance on the stage in a "nightdress" and the very first lines that Caesar utters refer to his wife, "Thrice hath Calpurnia in her sleep cried out/'Help ho! they murder Caesar." From the beginning of the play till now all that we have heard about Caesar relates to his warrior like and statesman like qualities. But, Shakespeare foregrounds his first appearance on the stage by presenting him as a worried and anxious husband who is ready to please her initially by agreeing not to go to the Senate,"and for thy humour I will stay at home."
2.To contrast fate and human will: Calpurnia's intuitive fears,"O Caesar these things are beyond all use/And I do fear them," are contrasted with Caesar's self confidence, "It seems to me most strange that men should fear/Seeing that death a necessary end/Will come when it will come."
3. Calpurnia's interpretation of her dream is brushed aside and Decius' interpretation is accepted by Caesar to emphasise the significance of the public and the political over the private and the domestic, "How foolish do your fears seem now, Calpurnia."
4.Calpurnia represents the fear and the superstitious beliefs of the contemporary Elizabethan audience concerning the supernatural
