"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" ---Explain (Macbeth)
Just after the death of Lady Macbeth, the quoted words flow from the mouth of Lady Macbeth's husband Macbeth with pensive mood in William Shakespeare's tragedy play Macbeth in act 5 scene 5.
This is the realisation of a man who has gone a long way, in the way of life. After life fulfills fervour, Lady Macbeth sleeps eternally. At the death of Lady Macbeth, Macbeth shows an indifferent attitude and says this is not time for her to die, for she could die later. human beings seek tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow. Life is like a candle for nobody knows when it will be shut off. He takes after a shadow which is Waking, waking and waking. In the stage of life all human beings are actors and actresses, after playing their part, they have to depart. It is like a tale which an idiot tells, life is all about noises when it stops the result is silence.
This is really a melodrama speech.The philosopher and poet Macbeth has bloomed here fully. Macbeth things he has to walk the path of blood, in the world of murder, all experience had stored in his mind. The book called life has taught him many lessons. His wife is no more, she has played her part and is enjoying eternal sleep. Like Lady Macbeth, one day all the human beings including Macbeth have to depart from the universe. There is nothing significant aspect in mortally.
