9. MACBETH'S LAST MONOLOGUE Famous piece. Macbeth hears a cry. He is not very afraid. Macbeth deals with the death of Lady Macbeth. He talks about life. Revolt against Macbeth MACBETH.What is that noise? SEYTON. It is the cry of women, my good lord. MACBETH. I have almost forgot the taste of fears: The time has been, my senses would have cool'd To hear a night-shriek, and my fell of hair Would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir As life were in't. I have supp'd full with horrors; Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts, Cannot once start me.Wherefore was that cry? SEYTON. The Queen, my lord, is dead. MACBETH. 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, Signifying nothing.
