The phrase 'All the world's a stage' is from Jacques' monologue in Shakespeare's As You Like It, comparing life to a theatrical performance where people play different roles. 'Cage' and 'rage' are thematically inconsistent, while 'image' doesn't fit the metaphor.

The proverb 'Every dog has its day' means everyone gets their moment of success or fortune eventually. The other animal names (hippopotamus, gorilla, rhinoceros, orangutan, kookaburra) are not part of this traditional saying.

Atrabilious means having a gloomy or morose disposition; bad-tempered, irritable, or melancholic. It comes from Latin 'atra bilis' (black bile), the humor believed to cause melancholy. 'Good natured' is the opposite, while 'Angry' is too general.
