Which character is described as superstitious and fearful for her husband due to omens?

• A. Casca
• B. Artemidorus
• C. Brutus
• D. Calpurnia

Answer: (D)

Understanding how a character’s superstition shapes her actions helps reveal her role in the story. Calpurnia, Caesar’s wife, is depicted as deeply superstitious and protective of her husband. She fears the ominous signs surrounding him and tries to persuade him to stay home, citing her unsettling dream and other omens as reasons to avoid going to the Senate. Her concern shows a private, domestic response to fate, contrasting with Caesar’s willingness to disregard omens. This combination—a wife interpreting signs and urging caution to safeguard her husband—fits the description of being superstitious and fearful for him due to omens. The other figures are not described in this way, so Calpurnia is the one who matches this characterization.
