Question

What is his first reaction to Calpurnia's superstition chapter Julius Caesar
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Calpurnia's Curse

One of the first examples of superstition is when Caesar asks his friend to touch his wife while he is competing in a race. Caesar says 'Forget not in your speed, Antonius, / To touch Calpurnia, for our elders say / The barren, touched in this holy chase, / Shake off their sterile curse.' In other words, Caesar believes that Mark Antony can cure Calpurnia's fertility issues by touching her. The fact that Caesar calls their lack of children a 'curse' even further shows that he does not believe there is a logical explanation. He is superstitious about his wife.
