Answer 1

Hint: Shakespeare was an English playwright, author, and actor who are generally regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the greatest dramatist in the world. He is known as the "Bard of Avon" and England's national poet.

Complete answer:
Shakespeare addresses the futility of humanity's position in the universe in "All the World's a Stage." He looks at time, ageing, memory, and the meaning of life. He connects the themes by using the poem's core conceit, that everyone is merely a participant in a greater game over which they have little influence. Starting with infancy and adolescence and ending with an old man who has been a lover, a soldier, and a judge, Shakespeare brings the reader through the stages of life. After reverting to a state similar to childhood and infancy, the "man" dies.
Title of the poem is “All the world's a Stage”

Theme of the poem: - The theme of the poem is the cycle of life.
Rhyme Scheme in the poem: - Blank verse i.e. no Rhyme Scheme but there is a steady rhythm of five beats in each line.
Figure of speech: - Metaphor
This is an imagery narrative style used by the poet to provide continuity to the poem, where one stage flows into "All the world's a stage, and all men and women are merely players," is one of my favorite lines.
Why I liked the poem: This poem appealed to me because it depicts the cycle of life in which we all participate.
