She should have died hereafter (Macbeth)

Themes: Change, Classical, Macbeth, Relationships, Rivalry, Shakespeare
Length: 1 Minute

Macbeth is reflecting on the futility and inevitability of life after hearing of Lady Macbeth’s death.

She should have died hereafter; there would have been a time for such a word. To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, 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.
