Reading Passage: 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.
This soliloquy reflects Macbeth’s despair and contemplation of mortality, set against the backdrop of his guilt and the supernatural visions he has encountered earlier in the play.
