All the world’s a stage,

And all the men and women merely players;

They have their exits and their entrances,

And one man in his time plays many parts,

His acts being seven stages.

Based on this excerpt, what is the main idea of this poem?



The world is small, like a theater stage.

All plays should have seven acts.

Life is like a play, and people play the same role throughout their lives.

Life is like a play, and people play many different roles during their lives.
