Answers
Stage 1 –: Infancy
A helpless baby, just crying and throwing up.
Stage 2 –: School Boy
This is where his formal education starts but he is not entirely happy with school. His mother is ambitious for him and has washed his face thoroughly before sending him off to school but he goes very slowly and reluctantly.
Stage 3 –: Lover
He’s grown into his late teens and his main interest is girls. He’s likely to make a bit of a fool of himself with them. He is sentimental, sighing and writing poems to girls, making himself a bit ridiculous.
Stage 4 –: Soldier
He’s a bold and fearless soldier – passionate in the causes he’s prepared to fight for and quickly springs into action. He works on developing his reputation and takes risks to that end.
Stage 5 –: Judge
In the fifth stage of life man plays the role of a justice or judge. He has grown fat from eating expensive meats. He uses his experience of life and the knowledge he has gained to offer what he thinks are wise sayings and advice and good decisions.
Stage 6 –: Old Man
He is old and nothing like his former self –
physically or mentally. He looks and behaves like an old man, dresses like one and he has a thin piping voice now. His influence slips away.
Stage 7 –: Death
He loses his mind in senility. His hair and teeth fall out and his sight goes. Then he loses everything as he sinks into the oblivion of death.
