saws meaning in the poem of the seven ofman
Answers
Jaques divides the life of a man into seven stages:
Baby or infant
School boy or child
Lover
Soldier
Justice or judge
Old man
Extreme old age, again like a child
Each of these stages is represented in a panel of the stained glass windows.
The speech then focuses on the experience of men. However it is also possible to consider how the lives of women might be divided into seven ages or stages.
The first role or stage is that of an infant or baby. The baby cries and whines before vomiting in the arms of his nurse.
In the second stage of life man plays the role of a small boy or child. He holds a school bag, has a shiny face and walks as slowly as he can because he does not like school and is reluctant to leave home.
The role of the lover is the third stage of life. He is young and foolish and falls passionately in love, singing a sad song about love in which he describes the beauty of a girl’s eyebrows.
In the fourth stage of life the man plays the role of the soldier. He has a beard, swears oaths and is ambitious to seek out honour. He is so keen to improve his reputation he is willing to risk dangers such as cannons in war.
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.
In the sixth stage of life the man becomes a pantaloon or weak old man. He is so thin his stockings become loose. The speech compares this stage of life to a return to being like a baby or child. Old men and small children both have high voices and are dependent on adults.
The seventh and final stage is extreme old age or a second childhood. Like babies very old men are dependent on others and have no teeth. The old man loses his memory, hearing and control of his senses before dying.
