thake this quote:
"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,
signifiying nothing."
Macbeth says this rite after his wife kills herself. i guess it's supposed to mean somethin about the meaning of life. anyhow, any thought about why he'd say this or anything'd be sweet.
here's my essay question:
is manbeth right in the above quote? is life a "tale told by an idiot?" or is there something more to "all our yesterdays"?
