All the world's a stage.

All the world's a stage.

Summary

This famous quote by William Shakespeare from his play "As You Like It" refers to the idea that life resembles a theatrical stage, and all individuals are actors who play different roles during their journey. It suggests that our lives are scripted and performative, with each of us assuming various roles throughout our existence, whether it be as a child, a lover, a friend, a parent, or in any other aspect of life. It implies a sense of theatricality and reminds us that life is transient, ever-changing, and filled with versatile performances by individuals.
