Explain how the Macbeth quote… "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." …can be viewed from an existentialist point of view.

In his moment of ultimate pain Macbeth realizes the futility of life in this quote.

Explanation:

This quote comes from the last soliloquy of Macbeth in the face of sure death as his empire has crumbled around him and he has nothing more to loose after gaining everything he wanted to.

In this situation he understands the futility of life and compares it to a walking shadow. It is never quite real and always out of one's reach and it keeps walking away.  

He calls life a tale told by an idiot in that there is no point to have ambition as it only results in downfall.

To translate this passage, Macbeth is saying in Act 5, scene 5, that the days are always passing by slowly until forever. And that every day that passes is one day closer to dying. Macbeth calls life an illusion, a "story told by an idiot", that has so much going on, yet it has no true meaning. This explains how Macbeth is aware that no matter what he will die one day, just like everyone will, whether they are a good person or an evil one. Macbeth came to the conclusion that life is meaningless, almost throwing away his past ambitions and dreams, and thinking they all amount to nothing. This signifies that Macbeth has given up. This feeling Macbeth explains can be very relatable and thus intriguing to readers who feel the same way. This simply soliloquy that Macbeth presents the readers with just as he is about to face death and has lost everything he worked so hard for, readers can really feel the depth of his words, and understand the vivid emptiness that he feels and exploits.
