Soliloquy Analysis

Act 5 Scene 5 

Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow
Spoken by Macbeth


Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
                     
                In act 5, scene 5, Macbeth is responding to when he was informed of his wife's death by suicide and feels he has lost hope, his view of life is now meaningless and no longer has a will to live.   Macbeth expresses his loneliness and regret in this final soliloquy.
