I feel like "the sixth age shifts into the lean and slippered pantaloon" is referring to what is worn during the sixth age, not what the person actually becomes. Cool quiz though.

I agree with hotspur. Here's a website I found that you might use. http://www.statemaster.com/encyclopedia/Seven-ages-of-man. Hope this helps.

No, a "pantaloon" is a type of person/character, not something you wear. The quiz is fine the way it is.

I think "judge" ought to be accepted for "Justice". But that's just my own sour-grapes opinion. :)

Shakespeare never did shy away from examining the human condition in all it's forms with a great honesty and humor. Great quiz!

Sixth answer simply not flexible enough. Does not accept "slipper'd" which is how it appears in the text!

Wooo I had to do this speech in As You Like It, when I was about 14/15 and my voice was in its worst voice-breaking period ever. Good times.

Interesting fact: this speech contains the first use of "puke" to mean "throw up" in English.

In sooth, 'twas a merry quiz. Just did this monologue for an audition a month ago. Granted, I got a far smaller role than I expected, but win some lose some, right?

Really great play, I was first alerted to the widespread nature of the 'ages of man' style classification in Schott's Quintessential Miscellany.
