What does this quote mean Mine eyes are made the fools o th other senses Or else worth all the rest.?
This line is said by Macbeth in the middle of his "Is this a dagger which I see before me" soliloquy. Basically, while on the way to murder Duncan, he sees a dagger in the air. But he cannot touch it or sense it in any other way. So he asks himself whether the dagger is unreal, and his eyes are being fooled while the other senses are accurate, or whether the dagger is real, in which case the eyes which reveal the presence of the dagger are worth more than all the other senses, which say that it is an illusion.
