Best Answer

He summarizes it at the end when Macbeth says "Signifying nothing". Macbeth is facing his defeat and a walking shadow can be gone after the candle is blown out. He has no control when the candle will disappear so the shadow is walking to get somewhere but it's pointless. A shadow is just a puppet.
