Solution

The correct option is B

Life is a circle that brings us back to the beginning.


This is supported by the last scene of all in which Shakespeare suggests that old age is a second childhood that will lead to oblivion without control of the senses, like the infant in the first act. Man has come full circle back to his beginning. No fear of death is mentioned, nor is free will, so choices A and D are incorrect. Choice C is incorrect because man is used as the subject of the entries, but never presented as a gender-specific measure.
