Shakespeare has the Seven stages of man's life with a touch of satire and cynicism. In each stage, Man 👨 imagines himself great and important, but there is something ridiculous in his behavior all through his life. Shakespeare has described each of the man's life stage with great economy of words. He uses living and concrete images to describe the different stage of life. 

The use of the word

'Mewling' of the infant's cry and the school boy's  reluctance for going to School 🏫 described in phases 'creeping like a snail' 🐌 are examples of living images.

CONCLUSION  :-

Shakespeare wants to render a message through his poem "The Seven Ages of Man" that men and women are 'merely players' in the drama of life. They are termed as 'merely players' because no one lives forever but plays his or her part and departs. at birth, they enter a stage and during death, they leave it. Man 👨  passes through Seven phases of life in accordance With their age.
