Discussion
Identify the figure of speech used in the first line.
Answer: B
The figure of speech in the first line is a metaphor.
'All the world is a stage' states that the world is a stage, without 'like' or 'as'. One thing is called another, which is the mark of a metaphor.
A simile would say the world is 'like' a stage, personification would give human qualities to a non-human thing, and hyperbole is deliberate exaggeration. None of these fits the line.
