What does Macbeth say when he hears of Lady Macbeths death?

"She should have died hereafter. There would have been a time for such a word. 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."


Life is a tale told by an ediot?

It seems like there may be a typo in your question. However, if you are asking about the Shakespearean quote "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 suggests that life is fleeting and transient like a performance, ultimately insignificant in the grand scheme of things. It reflects a pessimistic view on the brevity of human existence.


Is Jason from the Sound and the Fury represented in the quote from Shakespeare's Macbeth?

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to dayTo the last syllable of recorded time,And all our yesterdays have lighted foolsThe way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!Life's but a walking shadow, a poor playerThat struts and frets his hour upon the stageAnd then is heard no more: it is a taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing" (V.v in Macbeth).This whole soliloquy can relate to each and every single character in the novel. For example, "A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more" could refer to Quentin's story because he is constantly obsessed with time before he commits suicide and is "heard no more." Jason could be represented by "full of sound of fury" because throughout his section, he conveys a lot of anger.


Who said tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow?

Macbeth: Act 5 scene 5:To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,To the last syllable of recorded time;And all our yesterdays have lighted foolsThe 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 taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing.


Lifes 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?

Macbeth says this, to the Doctor...or the Messenger. But it means that life is like a poor actor who stresses over his few lines, then dies and is never mentioned again. So while life is dispoable, items are not, they live much longer than a human's life, like a legacy. Life is meaningless, told by an idiot, full of noise and fury, which signifies nothing.
