Act 2 Scene 1
"Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee;
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To feeling as to sight? or art thou but
A dagger of the mind, a false creation,
Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
I see thee yet, in form as palpable
As this which now I draw."
In this quote, it means that he could not picture the dagger because it was so unbelievable so he had to feel it. It is important because the blood on the dagger was a sign that he killed Duncan and he had a guilty conscious.
"The wine of life is drawn, and the mere leesIs left this vault to brag of."
This quote means that the best part of life is saved for last, like wine, and the rest is just something we brag of or show off.
Soliloquy:
I think that this soliloquy shows what will happen later in the play.He is shocked when he sees the dagger. There is blood on the dagger because it is a sign that he kills Duncan and his conscious is bothering him.
