Answer: Stoicism

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt from Act IV, Scene II of "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare, the value that Brutus illustrates in his reaction to his wife, Portia's, death is stoicism. Brutus learns from Messala that Portia is dead. He doesn't show any feelings, instead, he reasons that Portia is dead as everyone will be some time. Stoicism is the endurance of hardships without showing feelings or complaints.
