Off topic, but in that quote who is the idiot telling the tale?


Either nobody in particular or Macbeth himself, I guess.


Is all of life itself. Might also be Shakespeare being cynical about his own craft. He could be very post-modern for someone living that long ago.

[edit] also thinking about it, is a reference to god as well, as the tale is life, but the teller is the idiot.


Those are interesting interpretations, thank you for that.
