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.
