well...he wrote many plays both tragedy and comedy, it all depends on which play you are talking about. is this part of a school assignment? i've read a lot about this but it is really hard to answer the questions without the play.

Is this from Julius Caesar? Because I think Portia was Ceasar's or Brutus' wife..or somethig like that..

Hey genius, it helps to know what play you want to know about. I guess your right; you will not get an answer.
