Answer:
a) Origin of All the World's a Stage
Jacques has spoken this famous phrase in Act-II, Scene-VII of the play As You Like It. He says, “All the world's a stage,/ And all the men and women merely players.” The meaning of this phrase is that this world is like a stage show, and all human beings are merely actors.
b) Metaphor: the entire poem itself is more like symbolism; men and women are portrayed as players whereas life is portrayed as the stage. Repetition: another figure of speech used in this poem; words like sans, age, etc. are repeated.
