POW #4: Does the opposite sex ever just make you mad?

In Act II.i of Julius Caesar, we are introduced to our first female characters: the wives of Caeser and Brutus, and we see some sparks fly.  As we read this section, think about the way the couples interact, how they feel about each other, and what roles they take in their relationship.

If you are a female, you will write two notes: one from Calphurnia to Portia and a response from Portia to Calphurnia.  If you are a male, you will write two notes: one from Caesar to Brutus and a response from Brutus to Caesar.  Both your notes should be in the same post and should include these items: 

• Recount the conflict you had with your husband/wife.
• Express your frustrations you have with him/her.
• Express the ways you feel pressured to act towards him/her. 
• Ask for advice from the person you are writing to and respond with advice.
