Sonnets by Professor Engelstein (Who are you?)

Macbeth was Scottish noble and a valiant military man:
Before becoming king, Macbeth was a Scottish noble and a valiant military man1. He succeeded his father as mormaer (chief) in the province of Moray, in northern Scotland2. Macbeth established himself on the throne after killing his cousin King Duncan I in battle.

Upon being told by Seyton ‘The Queen, my Lord, is dead’, Macbeth replies: ‘She should have died hereafter: / There would have been 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.
