Julius Caesar Women

Question: Julius Caesar questions?
I have a couple of questions as far as Shakespeares play for Julius caesar. If Caesar wasn't fertile and nor his wife, Calpurnia, why couldn't Caesar get married to another woman? What was so important about Cassius complaining to Brutus about money not being accepted by Brutus? Was it because Cassius thought Brutus wasn't as trustworthy as ever? I'm still having confusion as to why Antony couldn't have killed Cassius, Brutus, and all the conspirators whom stabbed Caesar at the Capitol. Lastly, if Portia really wanted to know what her husband, Brutus, was doing at the Capitol, why couldn't she just go check it out herself? Was it because of her illness or was it because she didn't want her husband to see her spying on him?
Answer: Okay,
If Caesar wasn't fertile and nor his wife, Calpurnia, why couldn't Caesar get married to another woman?:
*Well, he truley loved Calpurnia and to be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if he did not want children. I say this because he had such a large ego that he probably could not stand the thought of someone else taking over someday.*I'm still having confusion as to why Antony couldn't have killed Cassius, Brutus, and all the conspirators whom stabbed Caesar at the Capitol.:
*Because he was much wiser than that. By causing a war, the citizens of Rome disliked the conspiritors also. If Antony had simply killed him, noone would really understand why, due to the chaos that would occur.*Lastly, if Portia really wanted to know what her husband, Brutus, was doing at the Capitol, why couldn't she just go check it out herself? Was it because of her illness or was it because she didn't want her husband to see her spying on him?:
*I think she must have known in the back of her mind what was going to happen but wanted to think that her husband would not do such a thing as murder Caesar. And so, I believe she chose to stay away from the capitol, hope for the best, and when she found out about the murder, she would think a very good reason for why it had to happen. This is so, because Brutus and Portia are crazy in love and love, as they say, makes people do crazy things. Even not stopping a murder from taking place.*I love the play, but keep in mind that these are just my opinions and no one really knows the exact answers.
Shatner as Marc Antony and 22 other Shakespearean sci-fi stars
The new production of Hamlet starring Dr. Who 's David Tennant and Star Trek: The Next Generation 's Patrick Stewart—making its U.S. debut tomorrow night on BBC America—raises the question: just how many actors have bridged the gap between Shakespeare and sci-fi? It turns out, kind of a lot.
