Shakespeare, in this speech, has Jaques set up an extended metaphor. "All the world's a stage", he says, and what he means is that people's lives are like actors on the stage; they are "merely players" and play "many parts". Now, just after saying that a man plays many parts he says "his acts being seven ages". Acts are parts of a play, and ages can be viewed as parts of a lifetime. In each of these parts of his lifetime, Jaques says, the man plays a different part. And then he goes on to describe each one of them.
