Macbeth Quotes

Metaphors:
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.

O, full of scorpions is my mind!

Symbolism:
Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.

Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To feeling as to sight?

or art thou but dagger of the mind, a false creation,
Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain

Ambition:
Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires.
