What is Shakespeare trying to communicate about life in this passage spoken by the character Macbeth?

Shakespeare uses different techniques to communicate with his audience about life through Macbeth. First of all in the passage Macbeth says “she should of died hereafter there would have been a time for such a word”. Shakespeare is indicating in this short verse that Life just goes so fast and there is not enough time to fit everything in. The reason why this suggests that Macbeth is saying that is because he just found out his wife has died and he is in a pretty bad situation because there is an outbreak of war coming to him. Therefore he has no time to juggle his wife’s death and mourn for her.

One technique Shakespeare used in this Stanza is a metaphors he used it several verses talking about life. “Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more” This is very powerful because in my opinion he is saying when life disappears and you die then you wont be heard no more, the bit where he is talking about just one hour on the stage reflects that he means life is just a short period of time and then your gone time just disappears.
