The Tempest - 2010 - Full Movie - HD 720p - Espresso Shakespeare All the World's a Stage 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.Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchelAnd shining morning face, creeping like snailUnwillingly to school. And then the lover,Sighing like furnace, with a woeful balladMade to his mistress' eyebrow. 19 Shakespearean Insults We Need To Bring Back | Phactual 1.“Thou art like a toad; ugly and venomous.” – As You Like It Modern translation: Your face, I do not like it. 2. “Away you three-inch fool!” Modern Translation: Get your tiny penis away from me, thank you. 3.

Which Shakespeare Play Should I See? An Illustrated Flowchart In just 10 DAYS I will be speaking at the Folger Shakespeare Library! In case you've missed my previous annoucements on this, here are the basic facts: WHO: Me! All the world's a stage "All the world's a stage" is the phrase that begins a monologue from William Shakespeare's As You Like It, spoken by the melancholy Jaques in Act II Scene VII. The speech compares the world to a stage and life to a play, and catalogues the seven stages of a man's life, sometimes referred to as the seven ages of man:[1] infant, schoolboy, lover, soldier, justice, pantaloon, and old age, facing imminent death. It is one of Shakespeare's most frequently-quoted passages, and is mistakenly believed by some to be Shakespeare's last speech. In the prior work The Merchant of Venice Shakespeare had described the world as "A stage where every man must play a part". The seven ages[edit] The man in the poem goes through these stages all expressed in a sardonic when not bitter tone: Infancy: In this stage he is a helpless baby and knows little.Whining schoolboy: It is in that stage of life that he begins to go to school. Origins[edit] "I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; And mine a sad one."
