Answer:
Beginning "All the world's a stage," the speaker, Jacques, claims that life is like a stage on which "men and women merely" play roles.
Explanation:
- Like the speaker right now, they take on various roles as they go through life.
- The speaker spends the most of this speech going over the seven ages of man.
- A person's life begins in infancy, continues through childhood, and then enters its best phase when they are a lover, soldier, or judge.
- They gradually become incapable of caring for themselves as they eventually lose control of their senses.
- Shakespeare compares life to a stage on the most fundamental level in the monologue from As You Like It.
- Jacques, the speaker, makes the assertion that life is a theater, and that men and women are actors who play many roles throughout their lives.
- The idea is partially derived from mediaeval philosophy.
- Beginning in the 12th century, there were "seven ages." The seven stages of man are shown in a tapestry of King Henry V. Medieval philosophers created groups of seven, like the seven deadly sins, for theological reasons.
- As a result, it is thought that mediaeval philosophy is where the "seven ages" originate.
