Why does Caesar find Decius’s argument more persuasive than Calphurnia’s? (for context this is when he’s about to go to the senate but calphurnia has a dream and begs him to stay)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

his argument appeals to Caesar's pride. While Calpurnia wishes that Caesar stay at home after seeing horrible dreams, Decius Brutus interprets the dreams lucky and fortunate. According to him, they signify Caesar's power and influence.
