Act 5 Scene 5 - Macbeth Soliloquy - She Sould Have Died!

This soliloquy is very short, Macbeth has just received the news from a Sayton that his wife is dead. Macbeth has been so busy planning and getting ready for the battle he only takes a second to think about what has just happened. His mind is filled with horrible things, that his own wife’s death doesn’t bother him as much as it should. He talks about the meaning of life in the soliloquy and how Lady Macbeth shouldn’t have died now, she should have dies later, at a time that was not so inconvenient. Macbeth thinks of the day that lie ahead and he sees no life that he knows. But when he looks back on life he sees a pathway to death or the days and events leading up to her death. Macbeth says life is life a play, like when the actors come out and does his scene and then goes off the stage and he is finished. Macbeth thinks life is short and unmeaningful.
