Answer:

Brutus is more philosophical about his own death than he is about Portia’s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Brutus is emotional at the death of Portia as he is overcome by grief and gets himself drunk and grieves painfully for his wife Portia while admitting that he is "sick of many griefs".

In contrast, Brutus is more philosophical about his own death by taking it as inevitable and a payback for his betrayal of Caesar and indeed he takes his life before Mark Anthony has the chance to execute him.
