This is for my school Project:
With reference to the play, show how Touchstone and Jaques provide, in their own unique manner, valuable insights into human behaviour.
It's NOT a comparison between them both... I need to write how both give insights...
For Jaques it will be the 7 ages speech but fr Touuchstone!?
 
Well, Jacques is by far the most important . You should look into his soliloquy -
"All the world's a stage" . He refers there to the passage of time , and how a human starts from a baby , crying for his mother and ending up in the second childhood :" Sans eyes , sans taste , sans everything " . As a main motif , Fugit irreparabile tempus . As for Touchstone , I can't remember much but look closely into the text ..you'll find everything there.
