Read the lines from William Shakespeare’s play As You Like It.

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 ages.

Which type of figure of speech is used?

A.
simile
B.
metaphor
C.
allusion
D.
personification

Respuesta :

SantiQ
B. Metaphor since it says that,” all the world’s a stage it’s comparing the two without using like or as

Answer:

B. Metaphor

Explanation:

Because;

it doesn't use like or as for a simile.

it doesn't describe something without doing it directly for a allusion.

it doesn't give a non-living thing a person like feature for a personification.

Hope this helps.
