According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, the final stage of life is characterized by the conflict between ego integrity and despair. This stage occurs in late adulthood, typically around the age of 65 and beyond. The focus is on reflecting back on one's life and feeling a sense of satisfaction and meaning or regret and despair. Marvin's retirement and reflection on his life satisfaction indicate that he is in the ego integrity versus despair stage.
