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.

What motivates does tituba act the way she does?
I'm guessing you mean Tituba from the Crucible. She acts the way she does at first because she is a loyal servant to the Parris family but then has a change of heart and does not want to be put to death. So she acts in fear of being put to death and that is why she lies and "turns to God" and then blames other people of being controlled by the devil.
