Act V and Response pg. 14 L
“Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! (25)
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.” (30)
1. What is Macbeths attitude to life at the end of play? Wants life to end, the way to
dusty death. Out, out brief Candle!
2. Name two specific ways that Macbeth is a different character at the end of the
play to what he was at the start? At the end of the play, finally his murderous toll
put an end to him, exhaustion, delusional, but at the start of the play he was a
wanted achieved man.
3. Whose fault was it that Macbeth had such a fall from Grace? Lady Macbeth and
Witches, whom were the woman who controlled the puppet Macbeth.
4. Do you think that life is a play where we are on stage for a while, and then exit?
No life is a play where you have a chosen exit but no one knows but him.
5. Did the movie help you understand the play?
The movie will help understand Shakespearean text that you read during the book,
the good is that the movie isn’t as complicated as the story but the bad is just the way
they pieced it together to me it didn’t seem like it followed the book.
