excerpt from "all the world's a stage" by william shakespeare

all the world's a stage
and all the men and women merely players;
they have their exits and their entrances,
and one man in his time plays many parts,
his acts being seven stages.

based on this excerpt, what is the main idea of this poem?

a. life is like a play, and people play many different roles during their lives.

b. life is like a play, and people play the same role throughout their lives.

c. all plays should have seven acts.

d. the world is small, like a theater stage.

tbh i only wrote this question for the points, and because it wasn't already on here soo yea if somebody needed with this question they could look at this. i already know that the answer is:

a. life is like a play, and people play many different roles during their lives.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
