Brutus and Portia seem distant. In part, Brutus's Stoic philosophy means that he does not express emotion, so the relationship is unlikely to be passionate, at least on the surface. And Brutus is a Roman, and the Romans were not exactly uxorious. So it is not surprising that Portia is kept out of Brutus's counsels, and is not allowed to know what he is up to. Which is hardly fair, seeing as how she pays for his actions with her life.

In Shakespeare's the tragedy of Julius Caesar what does Give guess how near today mean?
Brutus says this in Act II as part of the sentence "I cannot, by the progress of the stars, Give guess how near to day." It's the middle of the night, and Brutus doesn't know what time it is. He cannot figure it out from the position of the stars (it is possible to do this but I guess Brutus didn't know how). "Give guess" means the same as "make a guess" or just "guess".Strangely enough, this scene with Brutus unable to tell the time from the stars is the same scene where a clock is said to strike. This is a famous Shakespearean goof. They didn't have clocks in ancient Rome. Oops.
