Act 2 Scene 1

Portia talked to Brutus about how that night before they had gone to bed and she had asked him what was wrong and he would not tell her and now she got upset because she thinks that she deserves to know. They had talked that night during what you would call pillow talk.

Brutus is opposite of Cassius is some aspects.

Portia vs. the group of men that is with Brutus.

Cassius says, "Decius, well urged. I think it is not meet
Mark Antony, so well beloved of Caesar,
Should outlive Caesar. We shall find of him
A shrewd contriver. And, you know, his means,
If he improve them, may well stretch so far
As to annoy us all; which to prevent,
Let Antony and Caesar fall together." A.2 S.1 Page 8

Brutus says, "But for the general. He would be crowned.
How that might change his nature, there’s the question.
It is the bright day that brings forth the adder... And therefore think him as a serpent’s egg—
Which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous—
And kill him in the shell. A.2 S.1 Page 1-2

There is the repeated image in out into your mind of death of Caesar and then later for a short time is Antony.

The phrase "I am just a bit sick" from Brutus keeps coming up from him when he talks to Portia.

When Portia is upset that Brutus will not tell her his secret on how he is going to murder Caesar and claims that she is wife and is just as important as him.

Brutus goes against Cassius on the idea that they should kill Antony also and he believes that would be overkill.

Portia stabs herself in the thigh to try and prove a point to Brutus that she can be tough and take pain.

Will killing Caesar really make a difference in society and is that best choice that they could make?

Will Portia try and stop Brutus and his group from killing Caesar in some way?

Will Cassius get or want any power after Caesar death.
