The document summarizes William Shakespeare's famous description of "The Seven Ages of Man" from his play "As You Like It". It describes the seven stages of a man's life: 1) infancy, 2) childhood, 3) young man in love, 4) soldier, 5) mature adult, 6) middle age, 7) old age which returns to a second childhood. The stages portray the cycles of man from birth to death through the changes in his body, mind, responsibilities and roles in society over his lifetime.
