Best Answer

Calpurnia, or 'Cal' as she is sometimes called, works for the Finches. She is what you could call a housemaid. She cleans, cooks and watches Jem and Scout when Atticus is at work. Even though she's black, they consider her part of the family.

How is Calpurnia from Julius Caesar related to the Calpurnia in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Calpurnia was the wife of Julius Caesar and before his assassination, she had dreams of omens and death in general pertaining to Julius Caesar. She warned him not to go to the Senate House, (which is where the deed was to be done by the conspirators.) In to Kill a Mockingbird, Calpurnia was the cook of the Finch family, however, she was treated as an equal. Caplurnia was literate and taught Scout to read and write. She is very smart and this is how I believe Calpurnia from Julius Caesar and Calpurnia from To kill a Mockingbird relate, other than their names of course. xD
