Answer 1

the poem "The seven ages" has been written by William Shakespeare
in this poem , he has compared life to a stage and all humans who are born as mere actors and actresses who come on earth to play their part and then die (exit the stage of world)

here in this poem he has used metaphors and similes to make the poem more attractive

let's see what a metaphor is => it is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.

some metaphors in this poem are =>

1) All the world's a stage (world is compared with a stage)
2) men and women merely players (men and women with players)
3) the bubble reputation (reputation as a bubble , which fades away after sometime)
4) childish treble (high voice or treble as a childish voice)
5) this strange eventful history (life is compared with strange eventful history)

let's have a look on similes now =>

actually , simile is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, it is done to make a description more emphatic or vivid .

some similes are =>
1) creeping like snail
2) sighing like furnace
3) bearded like a pard

hope this helps

Explanation:

• 'Seven Ages' is one of the masterpieces of Shakespeare where the author introduces a list of similes and metaphors to display the four stages of human life.
• The very first metaphor that amalgamates the entire poem is 'all the world's a stage' and humans are mere actors playing their part.
• Metaphor are elucidated as the figure of speech in which author establishes an implicit comparison between two distinct ideas or objects.
• The other metaphors in the poem are when he says that 'men and women are players' (comparison of men and women with players), 'the bubble reputation', (comparison of humans with a bubble that fades away after a time), 'this strange eventful history'(where human life is compared to strange historical event), etc.
• Simile is the literary device through which the author establishes the comparison using either 'like' or 'as.'
• The similes that Shakespeare uses are mentioned above where the speaker compares 'reluctant move of a school boy to snail's creeping'(second stage), 'agony of young love like a furnace'(third stage), 'a young soldier's beard with the coat of leopard'(fourth stage).
