How would J Alfred Prufrock be considered a tragic hero?
Prufrock is a tragic hero because we get the sense that he is in on some secret that no one else knows ( his "overwhelming question") but his lack of self-worth prevents him from asking it. He constantly says that there is "time enough", but the last few stanzas allude to time slipping by and Prufrock slipping into senility while the "overwhelming question" is left behind. (We know this because of the contrast between the questions "Do I dare disturb the universe?" and "Do I dare eat a peach?")

An Iambic tetrameter has 8 syllables per line where every other syllable is stressed. For example: I write, I draw, I sing, I dance or di-dah di-dahdi-dah di-dah The first syllable is usually unstressed.

Which figure of speech is used in poem all the world's stage?
It's not a poem, actually, but a speech given by Jaques, a depressed guy hanging around in the woods with the exiled Duke. The Duke tries to cheer Jaques up by pointing out that some people are worse off than he is. Jaques replies by saying that we just end up being the people we are because we are like actors following a script.
In other words, because of where the speech comes in the play, and the character which has been established for the guy who says it, we know that the tone of the speech will be depressed, sad and despairing. Taken out of context, you might not think so, which is why you need to look at it in context.
