The Killers wrote a song called “Human” in 2008. It peaked at number thirty-two on the Billboard Hot 100 in the week of October 18, 2008.

Life is not like a stage due to the fact that people do not need to be and are not made to be perfect. They can choose to act however they choose, whenever they prefer to. People have free will. Free will is the belief that we are able to manufacture our own decisions without a superior being controlling our decisions. I believe as humans, we have free will and we do generate our own decisions. We can be unpredictable and not always produce the best decision, but we do have free will and that’s what makes us human. We are not limited to the stages that Jacques mentions, even if they have changed since this soliloquy in Shakespeare’s play was written. We can choose to be a soldier, choose to progress to college, choose to start our own …show more content…
Jerome is wrong in stating the world is a stage, because we are not performers, we are people with free will and have an independent decision making process that is controlled by not any superior or extraterrestrial being. Jerome was able to beat Antonio because Antonio is a puppet and at the closure of the day humans will be at genetically enhanced people akin to Antonio every day of the week.
