Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sleep symbolizes innocence, purity, and peace of mind, and in killing Duncan Macbeth actually does murder sleep: Lady Macbeth begins to sleepwalk, and Macbeth is haunted by his nightmares.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Macbeth, Shakespeare uses an extended metaphor in the final act to compare life to a shadow. Macbeth proclaims, ‘’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.
Detailed explanation-3: -the idea that Macbeth has murdered sleep is a great personification here. Sleep is representative of peaceful rest, and Macbeth has, indeed, killed that for Duncan.
