Macbeth uses two metaphors about life. One of a "brief candle" and the other that "life's but a walking shadow". Also he says it's a "poor player".

What metaphors does shakespeare use to convey macbeths attitude toward life after lady macbeths death?

"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 Who struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. Tis a tale told by an idiot Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. The words which make the metaphors are "pace", "syllable", "candle", "shadow", "player", "tale".

Why do you think shakespeare chose to use apostrophe rather than have Macbeth describe a menacing dagger?

Shakespeare used apostrophe in Macbeth's soliloquy to create dramatic effect and emphasize Macbeth's hallucinations and inner turmoil. By having Macbeth address the dagger directly, it allows the audience to see the depth of his psychological struggle and descent into madness. It also adds an element of tension and suspense to the scene.
