Using the “Meditations” of Marcus Aurelius please select and identify 2 principles of stoicism (please cite 1 quote from “Meditations” that relate to EACH principle) and compare these 2 principles with 2 passages from “The Death of Ivan Ilych” in order to show whether Ivan measures up to or falls short of the stoic principles you have chosen.

Please cite 2 quotes from “The Death of Ivan Ilych” for Each stoic principle chosen.
Please be sure to use examples from Ivan’s inner reflection period between himself and Gerasim before Ivan’s death as well as the final stages of Ivan’s life between pages 48 and 54 of “The Death of Ivan Ilych” for one if not both of the examples needed.
Ivan will either live up to or fail to be a good stoic based upon the stoic principles and examples chosen however Ivan can not be both in this essay.
