This is a voice of Macbeth in Act 5,written by William Shakespeare. Shakespeare is a par excellence in the world of English literature. It is a type of order given by Macbeth to the defence of the castle. Shakespeare says in this poem that time is the most powerful weapon in the world. He says that he knows about tomorrow because from his birth, it is being continued. What is the real future of us, he introduced here.
"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".
In these lines, the poet says that all living creatures across the world creeping silently day by day in their lives like time. Here, in this poem, the poet says tomorrow means coming time which has been heard since my childhood. I also hope like that it creeps to the last minute of life. Whatever I have this time, that's fresh and unique but whatever I had in past that is on the way of death. He says people will have brightness and happiness this time but one day it will be dark. So yesterday had lighted but this time on the way of dust.
" 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".
The poet says that life is like a brief candle. It means that human life has a short span of time like a walking shadow of truth. Men come on the stage to perform their own duties and finally they go out permanently from the world. It means no more here to perform. This story is told you by an idiot with a loud voice and fervour. After doing and analyzing the things across the world, they disappear from here. So, the poet says find truth and believe in truth, do believe in shadows of human life.
