6. Explain the meaning of the following<\/strong>
\n(a) ______ all the men and women merely players<\/em>
\nThey have their exits and their entrances ______.<\/em>
\nAns: <\/strong>The quoted lines are from the poem \u201cThe Seven Ages\u201d by William Shakespeare. The poet has compared the world to a stage and men and women with actors.All men and women appear on the stage of the world to play various roles. They are just stage artists. Their birth marks their appearance on the stage and death
\ndenotes their departure.<\/p>\n

(b) And then the lover<\/em>
\nSighing like furnace______.<\/em>
\nAns: <\/strong>The lines are taken from the poem \u201cThe Seven Ages\u201d by William Shakespeare. With the help of a simile, the poet explains that on attaining adolescence, men fall in love. The passion of love becomes active like heat generated in a furnace. However, this surging passion also declines after crossing a certain point of time. In this line, the poet hints at momentary nature of human affairs.<\/p>\n

(c) a soldier,______Seeking the bubble reputation<\/em>
\nEven in the cannon\u2019s mouth.<\/em>
\nAns: <\/strong>The quoted lines are from the poem \u201cThe Seven Ages\u201d by William Shakespeare.The poet has compared a young man to a soldier who takes his responsibilities very seriously and strives relentlessly when dedicated to a cause. In his youth, man seeks instant fame and is ready to take risks. However, when one seeks instant fame, there is a big risk of their reputation getting tainted, just like a bubble that rises and bursts instantly.<\/p>\n

\n

7.<\/strong> Read the poem again and note down the metaphors and similes. Copy and complete the following chart.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Item<\/strong><\/td>\nMetaphor<\/strong><\/td>\nSimile<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
World<\/td>\nAll the world’s a stage<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Men, women<\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
school-boy<\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
lover<\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

reputation<\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
voice<\/td>\n <\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Which comparison(s) do you find most interesting? Why?<\/strong>
\nAns: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Item<\/strong><\/td>\nMetaphor<\/strong><\/td>\nSimile<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
World<\/td>\nAll the world’s a stage<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Men, women<\/td>\nmen and women merely players<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
school-boy<\/td>\n<\/td>\nCreeping like snail<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
lover<\/td>\n<\/td>\nsighing like a furnace<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
soldier<\/td>\n<\/td>\nbearded like the pard<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
reputation<\/td>\nbubble reputation<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
voice<\/td>\nbig manly voice<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

According to me school boy comparison is really interesting one. Here, poet shows a boy carrying a schoolbag but at the same time walking slowly towards school. He doesn’t want to go to school. This phase common in these days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
