"''Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow''" is the beginning of the second sentence of one of the most famous soliloquies in Shakespeare's tragedy ''Macbeth''. It takes place in the beginning of the 5th scene of Act 5, during the time when the English troops, led by Malcolm and Macduff, are approaching Macbeth's castle to besiege it. Macbeth, the play's protagonist, is confident that he can withstand any siege from Malcolm's forces. He hears the cry of a woman and reflects that there was a time when his hair would have stood on end if he had heard such a cry, but he is now so full of horrors and slaughterous thoughts that it can no longer startle him. Seyton then tells Macbeth of Lady Macbeth's death, and Macbeth delivers this soliloquy as his response to the news. Shortly afterwards he is told of the apparent movement of Birnam Wood towards Dunsinane Castle (as the witches previously prophesied to him), which is actually Malcolm's forces having disguised themselves with tree branches so as to disguise their numbers as they approach the castle. This sets the scene for the final events of the play and Macbeth's death at the hands of Macduff. ==Titular reuses== * Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is a 1953 short story by Kurt Vonnegut * All Our Yesterdays is used as the title of several works, encompassing literature, music and television * ''The Way to Dusty Death'' is a 1973 novel by Alistair MacLean * "Out, Out—" is a 1916 poem by Robert Frost * "Sound and fury" is the title of several works, including a novel by Faulkner and a 2000 documentary about deaf children. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
