Example:
"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.
Thou com'st to use thy tongue; thy story quickly."
(Act 5, Scene 5, Lines 23-29).
Explanation:
Macbeth says this after he finds out that Lady
Macbeth killed herself. It's as if Macbeth no longer sees any point trying to hold on to the kingship. He cannot understand
why he ever wanted it.
