Problem description:
Lin Yutang mentioned in his book that Shakespeare wrote a poem that divided life into seven stages.
I wonder what kind of job it is.
The following is the original text of Lin Yutang:
I don't think anyone will say that a life with childhood, maturity and old age is not a happy life. A day has morning, noon and sunset, and a year has four seasons. But now that I think about it, life is really not good or bad. Rich and poor people are the same in the end. I think there is only one question, "which experience in your life or which season in your life is the best". If we live by seasons with this biological outlook on life, no one will deny that life can be spent like a poem except that arrogant idiot and hopeless idealist. Shakespeare expressed this idea more clearly in his articles about the seven stages of life, and many writers in China also said the same thing. I respect Mr. Shakespeare, because he regards life as life, just as he does not disturb the characters in his plays, so he does not disturb the general arrangement and organization of everything in time. He saved life and nature itself. He just lived in this world, observed life, and finally left this world according to the final rules of life activities. . .
Analysis:
Seven stages of life in Shakespeare's play "All Are Happy"
Act II Scene 7 Another part of the forest
U2 P73
The whole world is a stage, and men and women are just actors;
They all have their endings and their appearances.
How many roles does a person play in his life?
His performance can be divided into seven periods. It starts with babies,
Crying and vomiting in the nanny's arms.
Then there are red-faced pupils with schoolbags on their backs.
Like a snail, I dragged my feet slowly and reluctantly to school.
Then the lover sighed like a furnace and wrote a sad poem.
His lover's eyebrows.
Then a soldier, full of strange oaths, bearded like a leopard, cherishes his reputation, prepares for war, and strives for success like foam on the muzzle.
Then the judge, with a chubby belly full of capons, awe-inspiring eyes, neat beard and full of proverbs and cliches;
He played one of his roles in this way.
In the sixth period, he became a thin old man with slippers on his nose.
Glasses with wallets around their waists;
The stockings he saved when he was young were unusually wide on his wrinkled calf;
His male voice became a child's shrill voice again, like playing bagpipes and whistling.
The last scene to end this strange and eventful history is the reappearance of childhood, complete forgetting, no teeth, no eyes, no taste and nothing.
