Which character says the line When beggars die there are no comets in the sky. The heavens only announce the deaths of princes?

• A. Caesar
• B. Antony
• C. Brutus
• D. Calphurnia

Answer: (D)

This line reveals how omens and fate shape a character’s perspective and decisions. It’s spoken by Calpurnia, Caesar’s wife, who treats dreams and celestial signs as warnings about his safety. She argues that extraordinary signs—like comets—mark the deaths of princes, not beggars, highlighting why she fears Caesar’s imminent danger and why she urges him to stay home. This reflects her domestic, protective view and fits her role in the scene, unlike other characters who speak from political or military concerns. So the line is spoken by Calpurnia.
