This animation features an analysis of "All the World's a Stage", a monologue written by William Shakespeare for his play As You Like It. The speech compares life to a play and walks us through the seven stages of a person's existence, condensing a lifetime into twenty eight action-filled lines.

 

This analysis is part of a TED-Ed animated series, "There's a Poem for That," which features animated interpretations of poems both old and new that give language to some of life's biggest feelings.
