Analysis:
Seven Ages of
Man By William
Shakespeare All the
world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely
players; They have their exits and their
entrances, And one man in his time plays
many parts, His acts being seven ages.
At first the infant, Mewling and puking in
the nurse’s arms;

Email: paopaohighschool@gmail.co
 And then the whining schoolboy, with his
satchel And shining morning face, creeping like
snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a
soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the
pard, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in
quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the
justice, In fair round belly with good
capon lined, With eyes severe and beard
of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern
instances; And so he plays his part. The
sixth age shifts Into the lean and
slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on
side; His youthful hose, well saved, a
world too wide For his shrunk shank; and
his big manly voice, Turning again toward
childish treble, pipes And whistles in his
sound. Last scene of all, That ends this
strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans
everything.
