Actually, Shakespeare never said the theater was a true reflection of life. The quote is "All the world's a stage / And all the men and women merely players. / They have their exits and their entrances / And one man in his time plays many parts." That said, though Shakespeare is comparing theater to life, the comparison works both ways. He is using the theater as a way to break life down into its simplest phases, assuming that what is on the stage is, in effect, a true reflection of life.
