Cassia had refused to leave her room and come into the courtyard. Her maid had washed her face and decorated her hair with fresh irises. She had been gently coaxing Cassia to see TItus before he left for the Senate. In the courtyard, Titus Anton paced up and down on the cold white marble floor as the servants hastily went about their chores. The courtyard was fragrant with blooming flowers and the aroma of fresh bread from the clay oven located at the back of the large house.
Titus had been patient with Cassia, but his patience was wearing thin. Being the head of the Anton family, he did not like to be disobeyed. Cassia knew her father loved her so much that she could get away with these antics without any consequences.
When Cassia stepped out in the beautiful courtyard with a sulking face, Titus was immediately worried. "Are you all right darling?" He asked , touching her forehead.
"I will be if you promise to buy me a red and white robe just like Hadriana's," Cassia sulked some more as she spoke.
"I am getting late for work," said Titus as he carefully arranged the folds of his ivory toga on his left arm. " We will talk about it at dinner, but I can't promise you anything." He kissed the garland on Cassia's head. Titus served as a senator at Emperor Augustus's court. He had become wealthier and more famous since he became the senator two years ago in AD 1.
He knew a Chinese trade caravan, loaded with precious silk cloth, was arriving at the border in a matter of days. It would cost him a fortune, but he wanted his Cassia to look distinguished from all other girls. He smiled as he picked up his pace toward the court. Cassia, my beloved daughter, would wear the most delicate silk robe eyes have ever he seen, he thought, his eyes gleaming.
How does the cultural setting affect character development in the story?
Depicting Titus as rich and planning to buy silk shows silk is a luxury desired by the rich.
Presenting Cassia living in a big house shows she is rich and has many servants.
Showing Titus as a senator explains how the political system works in the country.
Showing Cassia desiring what Hadriana has portrays Cassia as jealous of her.
