Answer 2

The world is a stage and men and women are merely players because all of us have our own entrances and exits(life and death) .there are different stahe's to life , right from the time we are born to a school child, a lover , a soldier, an adult and the time we die . And all these stages we play different roles in different ways . This is why all the men and women are players or actors why perform on this stage-a journey call ed life.
