Chose "Life" in preference to "Time", got the rest. Well, I've checked the "brass monkey" box for now as I am familiar with the phrase, but I will have to see the actual clue to be sure. I remember reading a (nonsensical) explanation of the phrase (which in fact hardly needs explaining) referencing the British navy.
I'm smart and I want respect.

Wednesday: Antony and Cleopatra? (Little to no confidence due to Julius Caesar.)
Thursday: ?

"With a little help from my friends" on Tuesday. I don't remember what I said on Wednesday. I know it was wrong, but I don't think it was Antony and Cleopatra. Not familiar with Brass Monkey.
