What robe do we put on?

Plutarch writes, “You must wear a cloak suited to your circumstances;… you must not think too highly of or place too much trust in your crown." Instead he writes, “imitate the actors: they pour their own emotion, character, and dignity into their performances, but they nonetheless obey [their part].”

I ask, what is the cloak we wear? How do we wear that cloak?

Is the most accurate translation the novice's?

Who's part of the story?
