Detailed explanation-1: -Macbeth speaks this infamous soliloquy before he has made his decision to kill the King and take the crown as his own. Macbeth begins to doubt himself and his ability to murder Duncan. Macbeth ‘sees’ the dagger before him, the handle towards his hand. Thus, he begins with the line, “Is this a dagger I see before me?”.
Detailed explanation-2: -’Is This A Dagger Which I See Before Me’ Spoken by Macbeth, Act 2 Scene 1.
Detailed explanation-3: -’Is this a dagger which I see before me, / The handle toward my hand? ‘ So begins one of the most famous soliloquies in Shakespeare’s Macbeth – indeed, perhaps in all of Shakespeare. Before we offer an analysis of this scene – and summarise the meaning of the soliloquy – here is a reminder of the famous speech.
Detailed explanation-4: -Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
Detailed explanation-5: -"Dagger of the mind” can read in two ways. First, there’s the literal contrast of tangible reality and Macbeth’s imagination. Second, you have metaphor of Macbeth’s guilt-and doubt-manifesting itself as a vision as he waits upon the signal from his wife.
