Macbeth’s “Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow” Soliloquy – Act 5, Scene 5

  • Context:

    • Macbeth has just learned of Lady Macbeth’s death.

    • He is trapped in his castle, facing an invading army, and his reign is collapsing.

  • Meaning:

    • The soliloquy reflects complete despair and nihilism.

    • Life is portrayed as meaningless, brief, and insignificant:

      • Like a shadow with no substance

      • Like a bad actor who has a dramatic moment on stage but is quickly forgotten

    • Concludes with:
      "Life’s a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing."

  • Significance:

    • One of the most powerful expressions of hopelessness in literature

    • Marks the absolute low point of Macbeth’s tragic journey
