Detailed explanation-1: -A woman’s cry is heard, and Seyton appears to tell Macbeth that the queen is dead. Shocked, Macbeth speaks numbly about the passage of time and declares famously that life is “a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing” (5.5. 25–27).
Detailed explanation-2: -Out, out, brief candle. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. These words are uttered by Macbeth after he hears of Lady Macbeth’s death, in Act 5, scene 5, lines 16–27.
Detailed explanation-3: -How does Macbeth feel about life when he hears the news of his wife’s death? Macbeth feels hopeless and no longer values life. He says that time creeps slowly and life has no meaning. It indicates his lack of will to live.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lady Macbeth is horrified and wracked with guilt, which drives her to kill herself; in her last appearance, she sleepwalks in profound torment, and hallucinates that her hands are stained with the blood of Duncan and Macduff’s family, scrubbing furiously in a vain attempt to “clean” them.
