The analogy in this excerpt suggests that life is an illusion. The imagery of life as a "walking shadow" and a "poor player" implies that it lacks substance and is transient, leading to the conclusion that it is ultimately insignificant or empty, which aligns with the response "That it is an illusion."
Macbeth
by William Shakespeare
Macbeth
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
From Macbeth by William Shakespeare
