Read the excerpt from julius caesar and answer the question that follows. portia: if this were true, then should i know this secret. i grant i am a woman, but withal a woman that lord brutus took to wife. i grant i am a woman, but withal a woman well-reputed, cato's daughter. think you i am no stronger than my sex, being so fathered and so husbanded? tell me your counsels. i will not disclose 'em. i have made strong proof of my constancy, giving myself a voluntary wound here in the thigh. can i bear that with patience, and not my husband's secrets? which rhetorical appeal does portia use to talk brutus into telling her his secrets?
