Answers
Calpurnia and Portia are the women characters in the play “Julius Caesar.” they both are strong women characters. They believe in the supernatural instances and warnings of nature about any uncertainty. Calipurnia worries for her husband, Caesar because of her dream which she considered as a warning from nature. She asks him not to go out on the Ides of March as he may face difficulties. Portia suspects her husband to be in some problem and is curious about that. Her worry is that her husband is up to something evil which he is hiding from her.
Portia and Calpurnia were described as both strong women.
Neither woman was willing to defer back and let their husbands make any decisions without their knowledge and interference.
Each of them was their husband, and to some extent, both of them should do it with reasons.
Calpurnia was anxious that her husband’s safety was at stake, and Portia was afraid that her husband is up to something wrong.
