Shakespeare
I just finished reading Macbeth for the first time today (no judgment please). The most striking part of the play for me, as well as many other people, is the speech at the end where he says, “[life] is a tale /Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury/ Signifying nothing.†Act 5, Scene 5, lines 26-28. I think this part of the play is so profound because it makes one wonder whether this is true. How many times have we all wondered what our purpose is in this life? However, what would our purpose have to be to make it (life) worth something? Is Macbeth simply saying this because he realizes how empty his life has become after selling his soul for power? I’m not sure. I’m moving on to King Lear, but first I’m going to buy some office supplies.

The statement makes me think a new college grad who is losing that shiny gloss of what life holds for them in the future. Woe is me, life is nothing. But you lose that glossy sheen and something more substantial is left hopefully and you figure things out and make a path.
