While Macbeth began the play as a feisty warrior eager to bend the knee to the royal throne, he ends up as a mere shadow of his former self. In the middle of the play, Macbeth is introduced to us as an unstable man who is willing to do anything in his power to preserve the power he has stolen for himself. At the end of the play, Macbeth is pathetic and he clearly shows this in tomorrow's soliloquy. As Thomas De Quincy states in On the Knocking at the Gate in Macbeth, “Shakespeare must raise interest in the murderer. Our solidarity must be with him." While Macbeth doesn't elicit sympathy for the most part, if ever there was a place we would feel sorry for him, it's here. It is in tomorrow's soliloquy when Macbeth says, “It is a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury. It means nothing." If ever there was a time to feel sorry for a murderer, it's when he recognizes that he has no purpose in life and is ready to give up entirely. Clearly, Macbeth's actions and the way he involves changing continuously during the course of the work and we will see it during tomorrow's episode.
