Lonely man can tell good speeches anytimes, that is full fill in William Shakespeare's In Act-2 Scene-7 of Comedy Play As You Like It, the seven stages of man depicted by Jaques. It is very thought- provoking, cynical and pessimistic in its metaphorical message, making the world a stage, life to be a play and human being actors in the gloomy drama of life.
1) Infancy
2) Schoolboy
3) Teenager
4) Young man
5) Middle aged
6) Old shed
7) Dotage & death
The first stage of "Infancy", a period from birth to about a few years of age is an important time, characterized by physical and emotional growth and development. It is a stage of 'mewling and puking in the nurse's arms'- with the support of other fellow actors like parents, nurses and servants.
Quote:“At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.”
The next stage is of a "School Boy" reluctant to attend the school so carely. His 'shining morning face' tells the time of early down and metaphorically, it also tells the time of prospective beginning of life.
Quote:“The whining school-boy with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like a snail
Unwillingly to school.”
Then in the Third Stage, he becomes a "Lover", full of stormy emotions and fanciful desires. A strange fit of Passion makes him a worthy lovable character forever.
Quote:“The lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow.”
The Fourth stage is that of a "Soldier".His 'strange oaths', his look of facial hair ' like a pard'- everything makes him a unique character.
Quote:“A soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden, and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth.”
In the Fifth Stage, he becomes a " Justice" having a fair round belly with good tasty food with penetrating eyes and a beard of formal cut. He possesses a blend of custom, morality, religion and education. Here he acts like a ruler.
Quote:“The justice,
In fair round belly, with good capon lin’d,
With eyes severe, and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws, and modern instances”
The Sixth Stage, it " Autumnal Decadence". The figure grows thin, with spectacles on the nose and pouch on the side. His voice is turning again toward a childish treble.
Quote:“With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound”
The last or Seven stages of human life is his "Death Age", his second childness". His memory does not function properly without teeth, without good sight, without taste, he waits for the final retreat of death.
Quote:“Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.”
