~~William Shakespeare As You Like It
To me the quote "All the World's a Stage" from the play As You Like It, by William Shakespeare, means that the entire world is one big play, and we are all actors. As actors we have entrances and exists, some people play minor, some major roles, and some people are the antagonists, or the protagonists. There are conflicts and resolution, Settings, and expositions. Finally, some characters change, and some stay static, some people are flat, and some round. These are all things that happen in plays, as well as in real life. I agree with this quote because based on the comparison between reality and play's, I have decided that the two are incredibly similar.
First of all, all humans are like characters in a play. They are born and die, just like an actor enters and exits. Some of the people on this Earth are more important and have a greater significance, such as Albert Eisenstein; but others might not be as interesting. Also, some people are the "Good-Guys" of society, such as Abraham Lincoln who freed the slaves, as opposed to the "villains" such as Adolf Hitler. Another point would be that, some people change throughout their lives and become better, or worse people based on the experiences and conflicts, and there are people the behave just the opposite, and do not change at all. Finally, some people are round and open, who expose all the information about them, and there are others who are very mysterious and unknown. These are all characteristics of human beings, as well as the traits of characters. Therefore, all the World's a stage.
