 D. ABSTRACTION
(The teacher will discuss a brief background of the author)
▪ Introduction to the Author

William Shakespear

Born: April 26, 1564 (Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire)

Died: April 23, 1616 (Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom)

William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor,

widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and
the world's greatest dramatist. He is often called England's national
poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard").His extant works,
including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three
long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain
authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living
language and are performed more often than those of any other
playwright. They also continue to be studied and reinterpreted.

William Shakespeare’s (26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616) The Seven Ages of man is a speech of a
philosopher Jacques talking to Duke Senior. This poem is one of the most famous works
of Shakespeare due to its first phrase “All the world's a stage”. The author compares the world with a
stage and every living person is described as an actor, who plays seven different plays on that
stage.

The Seven Ages of Man

By: William Shakespeare (from As You Like It)

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.
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.
