Brutus :) A quote to prove it is: Cassius: Let Antony and Caesar fall together Brutus: Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius ... (Then later in the same monologue) Brutus: And for Mark Antony, think not of him; For he can do no more than Caesar's arm When Caesar's head is off (Act 2, Scene 1, Lines 161-162 and 181-183) Enjoy!
Brutus's wife; the daughter of a noble Roman who took sides against Caesar. Portia, accustomed to being Brutus's confidante, is upset to find him so reluctant to speak his mind when she finds him troubled. Brutus later hears that Portia has killed herself out of grief that Antony and Octavius have become so powerful. As the daughter of Cato, a noble-born, Portia is an intelligent woman who demands to be an equal partner with her husband Brutus. Her argument, that she is not an ordinary woman, since Brutus chose her, in conjunction with who are family is, gives her the right to know what is going on in Brutus's life outside the home. She wants to share his life completely, as a wife. She sets out to prove to Brutus that she can handle the burden of knowing all of his secrets. She makes it clear to her husband, that she is physically strong, to express this concept, she stabs herself in the thigh, to prove to Brutus that she is capable of bearing pain. Portia provides a portrait of a woman of above average strength and quality.

Portia shows her strength to Brutus by stabbing herself in the thigh. She did this to prove that just because she is a woman, that doesn't mean that she can't be as strong as him.
Because Brutus was Caeser's right hand man and he had access to a lot of resources that would prove valuable to the conspiracy It's always good to have an inside man.

She cut herself on the thigh to prove her strength of character to him
Brutus and Portia's marriage appears to be based on mutual respect and love. Portia is not afraid to stand up to Brutus and demand that he treat her as a "woman well reputed." She desires to share his secrets and his worries, and she is even willing to wound herself to show her bravery. When she slashes her thigh, she is showing that she will not reveal Brutus' secrets even under pain of torture. Brutus sees how determined Portia is to prove that she is "stronger than her sex," and he rewards this sentiment with loving respect. Portia's argument with Brutus can be contrasted with Caesar's argument with Calpurnia. Caesar is far more authoritarian, and seems not to care that he is humiliating Calpurnia and causing her a great deal anguish in refusing to heed her advice regarding his meeting with the Senate.
Portia stabs herself because she wants to show Brutus her strength and that she can handle difficulties. She is a woman and she can be as strong as him. "She has but a man's mind but a woman's might."
Portia cuts herself in William Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" as a demonstration of her resolve and commitment to her husband, Brutus. She wants to prove her strength and the depth of her love, showing that she can bear pain and keep secrets. This act symbolizes her desperation to be included in Brutus's world and to share in the burdens he carries, highlighting her inner turmoil and the theme of sacrifice in the play.
Portia feared that Brutus would not take her into his confidence because she might betray his secrets under torture. In order to test herself on this, she inflicted a sever thigh wound on herself to see if she could stand the pain. Finding that she could, she told Brutus what she had done and insisted that because of that, he should take her into his confidence. He then told her of the plan to kill Julius Caesar.
She says she is stronger than her gender and to prove it she stabs herself in the thigh saying if she is strong enough to handle this pain he should tell her his secret.
No discoveries in Mesopotamia prove that the Bible is an accurate historical book, otherwise modern scholars would have to regard it as such. Most modern scholars accept accounts in the Bible as historically true only so far as they are confirmed by extra-biblical sources. They see the Bible as true in parts, but not in total.
