Jacques Error

If all the world is a stage, and all the men and women merely players, then who is responsible for the casting? We've all got our entrances and exits, but it seems like all these lousy players that come into my play just use their exits. Without so much as a goodbye, they're gone in nothing more than a blackout—leaving us to try and make what is happening on stage work. All the world’s a stage, and all the scripts are merely conditions to which the players have to improvise. When one player leaves the realm, not always does another enter. Not always is the set complete, leaving no window for more conditions. Not always is there applause at the end of an act. I bow not for those who do not participate. A thrown rose does not make up for the loss on this stage.
