In the beginning of act two scene one everyone was trying to plot caezar's death. Also Brutus was pacing the floor on a very stomry night, thinking about all of his problems. Portia came out of the room and asked him what was the matter, but he would not tell her, cause he said that she was not the kind of person that would understand. Portia took a sword just to prove to him she was strong enought to handle it she stabbed herself in the thigh.
