Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -When he is about to kill Duncan, Macbeth sees a dagger floating in the air. Covered with blood and pointed toward the king’s chamber, the dagger represents the bloody course on which Macbeth is about to embark.
Detailed explanation-3: -The metaphor here suggests his anxiety and the sheer weight of his ambition or urge to satisfy the prophecies and his wife. It is, in many respects, a turning point in the play: Macbeth can choose to ignore his ‘fate’ and live as Thane of Cawdor, or take hold of his own future and kill to become king.
Detailed explanation-4: -"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.
