"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players" (pg 32). This line comes from Jaques. He is the most dynamic character in the entire play. Often times, he often seems to be the protagonist as well. He is called "melancholy" more often then not, but at other times can mock others, and in this instance given, he can be philosophical. He shows how dynamic he is through the entire play. He's never on any one's side per say, but never is against anyone either. He shows that he is a difficult character to understand through the entire play.
