By william shakespeare poetry- How is mans last stage of life second childishness?

I suspect you are asking about the speech called "The Secen Ages of Man" which comes from Shakespeare's play As You Like It. This speech contains the words "Last stage of all . . . is second childishness and mere oblivion: sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything." Jaques is thinking of a person afflicted with the conditions of extreme old age. He has lost his teeth so he can only eat pasty goo like a baby; he is blind so cannot see what to do; senility has robbed him of his reason; he must be taken care of like a little child.


What is second childishness?

Second childishness is a concept from William Shakespeare's play "As You Like It," specifically in the monologue by the character Jaques. It refers to the final stage of life where an individual, like a child, becomes reliant on others and loses their faculties, experiencing a return to a state of dependency and innocence. This idea suggests a cyclical nature of life, where the stages of human existence mirror each other, from childhood to old age.
