In Act 1, Scene 3 of "Julius Caesar," by are Brutus and Cassius's reactions different when they learn of Portia's death?How do you feel about these...

I admire Brutus because he sacrificed it all for the good
of Rome. He lost his wife during the tragedy.

His reaction
is somber but calm. He reacts stoically. Brutus does not allow Portia's death to hinder
him. He gets ready for battle. He is impassive about her death. He calmly prepares to
meet his enemies.

On the other hand, Cassius' reaction to
Portia's death is that it makes Brutus too willing to confront his enemies. Cassius
suggests they wait for the enemies to come to them.

Brutus
is ready to go to meet his enemies.

Cassius suggests they
wait for the enemies and be rested up for war.

Brutus is
eager to confront his enemies. "I have the patience to endure it now" is a quote Brutus
makes upon hearing of Portia's death. Perhaps he is saying that he has nothing to live
for now. War and death would be a welcome relief after losing his beloved
Portia.
