the central or main idea of the poem is...

form

imagery

rhyme scheme

theme

Explanation:

1. The lines use the stage/players comparison to imply life's phases, which is an example of connotation (suggested meaning beyond literal words). Annotation is a note/explanation, and denotation is literal meaning, so they do not fit.
2. The central main idea of a literary work like a poem is defined as its theme. Form refers to structure, imagery is descriptive language, and rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhymes, none of which describe the core idea.

Answer:

1. connotation
2. Theme
