Stoicism as Performance in Much Ado about Nothing: Acting Indifferently - Elements in Shakespeare Performance
Sherman, Donovan (Seton Hall University, New Jersey)
This Element demonstrates how Much Ado about Nothing models an understanding of the philosophy of Stoicism as performance, rather than as intellectual doctrine. It explores how a performative understanding lived on in one of the most influential texts of the era and ends with a sustained reading of Much Ado about Nothing to demonstrate how the play acts as a Stoic exercise.
