A
Introduction to Macbeth's Soliloquy
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.

Act II: Reflection on Power and Technology
I have no spur / To prick the sides of my intent, but only / Vaulting ambition, which overleaps itself / And falls on the other—how now, what news? / He has almost supped: why have you left the chamber? / Hath he asked for me? / Know you not he has almost supped? / My lord is often thus, and has been from his youth: / Pray you, speak not; I charge you, see there! / Behold, look! Lo, how she rages! / Look, how she rails! / Within the house, the doors are open; and the surfeited grooms / Do mock their charge with snores. / I have drugged their possets, that death and nature / Do contend about them, whether they live or die.
