'..... their exits and entrances.....'

The figure of speech used here is :

  • A.Simile
  • B.Metaphor
  • C.Personification
  • D.Hyperbole

Answer: B

The figure of speech is a Metaphor.

The line continues the comparison of the world to a stage and people to actors. 'Exits and entrances' are the actors' movements off and on stage, standing for death and birth; life is described directly as a play, without 'like' or 'as', which makes it a metaphor.

A simile would say life is like a play, personification would give human qualities to something non-human, and hyperbole is deliberate exaggeration.
