Not only has Macbeth heard of his wife\u2019s death, he knows armies are marching against him. The passage reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>She should have died hereafter;<\/em><br \/><em>There would have been a time for such a word.<\/em><br \/><em>\u2014 To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,<\/em><br \/><em>Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,<\/em><br \/><em>To the last syllable of recorded time;<\/em><br \/><em>And all our yesterdays have lighted fools<\/em><br \/><em>The way to dusty death.<\/em><br \/><em>Out, out, brief candle!<\/em><br \/><em>Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player<\/em><br \/><em>That struts and frets his hour upon the stage<\/em><br \/><em>And then is heard no more. It is a tale<\/em><br \/><em>Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury<\/em><br \/><em>Signifying nothing.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The great Shakespearean scholar A.C. Bradley, in his immortal book, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/v\">Shakespearean Tragedy: Lectures on Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth<\/a>,\u201d wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>There is no proof of Macbeth\u2019s alienation or utter carelessness in the words, \u201cShe should have died hereafter; there would have been a time for such a word.\u201d Spoken as they are by a man already in some measure prepared for such news, and now transported by the frenzy of his last fight for life. He has no time now to feel. Only, as he thinks of the morrow when time to feel will come \u2014 if anything comes, the vanity of all hopes and forward-lookings sinks deep into his soul with an infinite weariness, and he murmurs, \u201cTo-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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In the very depths a gleam of his native love of goodness and with it a touch of tragic grandeur, rests upon him. The evil he has desperately embraced continues to madden or to wither his inmost heart. No experience in the world could bring him to glory in it or make his peace with it, or to forget what he once was and Iago and Goneril never were.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
