INTERPRETATION

The first sentence has caused much debate. Whether Macbeth was more concerned with the timing of his wife's death than the fact of her passing remains open to interpretation. The rest of the speech is a rush of despair. Macbeth is seeing life as a story, and death as a natural occurrence that is to be welcomed. He has seen so much death, and caused so much pain to others, that he has become numb to it. He no longer cares about anything, and wishes to die himself.
