Summary

This quote from Shakespeare's play As You Like It suggests that life can be seen as a play, with people being the actors. People enter the stage (life) at birth and eventually leave (death), and throughout their lives, individuals assume various roles or parts as they age. The seven ages refer to the idea that individuals go through distinct stages from infancy to old age. The quote implies that life is a theatrical performance, highlighting the temporary nature of human existence and the ever-changing roles we play throughout our lives.
