Question

Shakespeare's Macbeth, Act V Scene 5
http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1129/pg1129.html

MACBETH. She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
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!
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.

Answer 1

Based on the lines "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow/Creeps in this petty pace from day to day/To the last syllable of recorded time," how does Macbeth feel about the passage of time? (5 points)

It will speed up in the future.
It passes quickly.
It progresses slowly.
It will continue indefinitely.
