Aarav Moudgil -sensory analysis of ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE
The poem has a lot of sensory elements. The phrase "creeping like a snail" contains a simile comparing the boy to a snail.This demonstrates the boy's sluggish gait.The phrase "bearded like a pard" is another example of a simile.Here, "pard" refers to a leopard. The poem itself is a metaphor that depicts a person's everyday existence as seven separate characters. A different period of life is represented by each player.Since a regular person is depicted as the player and life is the stage, it can also be categorised as symbolism.
