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.
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.
Infant - mewling and pewking Schoolboy - whinig and shining Lover - sighing Soldier - swearing and quarreling Justice - fat and bearded Pantaloon - bespectacled and shrunk Second childhood - out of it
You mean the "Seven Ages of Man", a speech by Jaques, a character in Shakespeare's play As You Like It. The speech goes as follows: All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, Mewling and puking in his nurse's arms, Then the whining schoolboy with his satchel And his shining morning face creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover Sighing like furnace with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then the soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. Then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, Full of wise saws and modern instances. And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side, His youthful hose well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in its sound. Last stage of all That ends this strange eventful history Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything

I t sounds like the boy changed his mind and is being mean as a cover up. He has moved on to someone else or just doesn't like you anymore and is just being mean because he doesn't want to be honest and say how he really feels. May be you just pissed him off and he doesn't want to you.
Sometime or somewhere a long time later.
