I do think that the death of Titinius and Cassius is a parallel of Romeo and Juliet, just like Horatio trying to kill himself upon Hamlet's death. Opinions?

Titinius and Cassius are a bit more of a parallel than Horatio and Hamlet, because one of them killed himself after thinking the other one is dead, and when the other one found out he killed himself too.

With Horatio and Hamlet, Hamlet was actually dying and Horatio wanted to join him. Hamlet told him that he has to live on, and so he did. So it’s not really a great parallel, but I can see why people would compare the two scenes.

At this point, I have a feeling that I am just spamming you with Julius Caesar asks but— What is your opinion of the character of Casca?

There are some characters in every book/play that exist only for the purpose of telling over plot relevant information to other characters. Casca is one of those.

He’s so forgettable that I had to google if he did anything plot relevant other than telling Brutus and Cassius that Caesar turned down the crown and stabbing Caesar. And the answer is no, he didn’t.

(Also I don’t mind all the asks- class is really boring and I need something to do)

So, anyways, here I am with another ask. What is your opinion of the character of Portia from Julius Caesar? And have you read the Comedy of Errors?

Portia from Julius Caesar is ok, but she wasn’t really in enough scenes for me to have a strong opinion on here. It’s kinda similar to my opinion of Ophelia- she’s there for a scene and then she dies.

Portia from The Merchant of Venice, on the other hand, is a great character and I love her.

Also no I have not read The Comedy of Errors yet, but I plan on reading it
