According to Shakespeare, in the sixth stage of our lives, man becomes a shadow of his youth. He has lost his robust body and all that remains is a narrow emaciated waist that is covered with a "lean and slippered pantaloon". On his eyes rests a pair of spectacles, because his eyesight has become weak. His entire body has shrunk due to old age. Even his voice has lost is booming sound. Now when he talks, it sounds like a child's voice. In the sixth stage man has become old and is soon going to become incapable of taking care of himself. In this stage the once strong youth of past has been reduced to a doddering old man.
