The following excerpt from the tragedy of macbeth is one of the most quoted passages ever written in the english language. 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. write an essay explaining what you think this passage means. how does it relate to macbeth’s situation? why do you think it has fascinated readers throughout the centuries?
