Calpurnia are similar because they are both concerned. They are also different because
Calpurnia is very superstitious and and Portia is not. It says “Is Brutus sick, and is he physical to walk unbraced and suck up the humors?” (Act 2 Scene 1) This shows how Portia is concerned because she is concerned about Brutus health. Calpurnia is also concerned about
