Life is just a play......


The phrase is from a famous monologue from William Shakespeare's As You like It, spoken by Jaques, who act as Sir Roland de Boys’ second son which appear at the end of the scene. The phrase compares the world to a stage and life to a play of a man's life, and they have their own ways of life as the phrase said that they have their own exits and also entrances. As one man/woman grows up, they will play as many characters, which are as a baby, a teen, an adult and also an old man. Shakespeare describes all of stages as the seven stages of man and its all about the concept of humanity. Men and women share the same “character” in the play as they play in the play.

Whether we are men or women, we share the same parts, as a child or an adult. In social aspect, the men and women had differences in doing all the parts, For example, the men, typically known to bare a heavy responsibility in life. Although, men and women had a different “exits and entrances”, their period in life is same, as they through became a baby, go to school during childhood, learning love and life during teen, thinking about others and self in adults and getting old before experiencing the second childhood.
