Question

write the critical appreciation of the poem the seven ages...

Answer 1

the poem describes 7 different stages of life in brief but has a powerful impact throughout. these different stages hint at the fact that nothing is permanent in life as it is transient. 
'the seven ages' is an extract from one of shakespeare's comedies, 'as you like it'. he portrays these lines through 'jaques' a melancholic  character in the play who ridicules every stage of life.
life, says shakespeare, is a drama enacted on the stage of the world. here, he compares the world to a stage , human life to a drama and human beings to actors. during the course of drama of life, the characters appear and disappear to perform their seven roles- infant, schoolboy, lover, soldier, judge, pantaloon and old age(second childishness)

Answer 2

"All the world's a stage" is the poem by William Shakespeare. The title of the poem is quoted from the play 'As You Like It."   In the poem, Shakespeare mentions that "All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely its players." Shakespeare describes the seven stages of life.

The first stage described by Shakespeare is of an infant, as the infant grows it becomes a school going child and then a sighing lover. Further, the lover enters the stage of a temperamental soldier and becomes wise and justice. Then the man enters the second last stage of becoming old and finally the last stage of life wherein, the condition of human becomes bad and miserable. As he grows old he again becomes and acts like a child.
