Detailed explanation-1: -Macbeth speaks this famous soliloquy when he is taken over by his guilt and growing insanity for killing Duncan. His imagination brings forth the picture of a dagger in front of him, which symbolizes the impending murder. Macbeth has made his decision to kill the King and take the crown as his own.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The fact that the thoughts of Macbeth are presented as a soliloquy is important because it means that what we are hearing is heard by no other character in the play and Macbeth can speak his mind frankly – he has nobody to deceive but himself. The soliloquy is Macbeth’s final preparation of himself before the murder.
Detailed explanation-4: -What does Macbeth see at the beginning of his soliloquy? He sees a dagger which directs him toward Duncan.
