Detailed explanation-1: -Macbeth’s speech beginning ‘Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow …’ is one of the most powerful and affecting moments in Shakespeare’s tragedy. Macbeth speaks these lines just after he has been informed of the death of his wife, Lady Macbeth, who has gone mad before dying (off stage).
Detailed explanation-2: -’Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow’, Spoken by Macbeth, Act 5 Scene 5. There would have been a time for such a word. The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Detailed explanation-3: -Seyton investigates, and returns with news that Lady Macbeth has died. Macbeth gives a speech about life: “Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow / Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, ” concluding that life “is a tale / told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / signifying nothing” (lines 1827).
Detailed explanation-4: -Seyton returns to let Macbeth know his wife is dead. This inspires Macbeth to launch into one of Shakespeare’s (and literature’s) best known and oft-quoted speeches.
Detailed explanation-5: -Signifying nothing. “Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow” is the beginning of the second sentence of one of the most famous soliloquies in William Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth.
