Soliloquy
        The soliloquy I pick is Act 5 Sc 5 Pg 177. This soliloquy is talking about before began the war between Macduff. Lady Macbeth was dead, and Macbeth thought he lose everything on the world. He found out that he do everything wrong until right now. He thought himself is just a fool and has no value to life any more. He lost confidence for everything.

Several murders occurred as a result of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s incessant desire for authority. Consequently, after each murder, both Macbeth and his wife become increasingly more undone. This soliloquy underscores Macbeth’s ultimate tragedy and the destruction of his ambition. He comes to the realization that life is utterly worthless. Macbeth says, “And all our yesterday have lighted fools /The way to dusty death.

This brief of worthlessness and insignificance is truly the extreme opposite of ambition.
        Life is connected with light, but Macbeth now thinks life has no meaning anymore. “Life’s but a walking shadow.” Macbeth is saying in line8...
