Abstract:The famous "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow" speech in Macbeth works on its own; the play works without the speech; and, in fact, including the speech in the play causes problems for interpretation. This paper argues that the speech was not written for the play in which it appears, but likely was written independently of the play and inserted because Shakespeare was eager to use it. For all that, though, the speech is not a flaw. Far from it, the speech is a profound meditation on the human condition, echoing Ecclesiastes and anticipating existentialism.

绝望的麦克白：不合时宜的演讲

摘要：麦克白著名的“明天、明天、明天”演讲自成一体；戏剧在没有演讲的情况下运作；而且，事实上，在剧中包含演讲会导致解释问题。这篇论文认为，演讲不是为它出现的戏剧而写的，而是可能是独立于戏剧而写的，并且因为莎士比亚渴望使用它而被插入。尽管如此，演讲并不是一个缺陷。远非如此，演讲是对人类状况的深刻思考，与传道书相呼应，并期待存在主义。
