Key Soliloquy: Macbeth's 'Tomorrow' Speech

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.

Is this a dagger which I see before me, / The handle toward my hand?

Or art thou but / A dagger of the mind, a false creation, / Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
