Macbeth Act 5 Scene 5
5 years ago
Just a moving Macbeth quote that essentially asks, "What is the point?"
She should have died hereafter.
There would have been a time for such a word.
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.
She should have died hereafter.
There would have been a time for such a word.
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.


I think that this quote reflects the character of Macbeth. I like this act as it is full of important events. Currently, I am working on my analysis of this play, and when I need some help I can see this page, so I hope to make it on the highest level. According to my experience, it is not easy to write such an investigation as it's necessary to research a lot of additional materials, thoughts, and based on gained information, write your own perception of characters and story. It's a hard job, and thanks to this resource, I can do it faster.
