The time has been my senses would have doled

To hear a night-shriek, and my fell of hair

Often in literature when a character has a soliloquy, the character expresses one's innermost feelings and thoughts about some idea. In The Tragedy of Macbeth, by Shakespeare, the character of Macbeth expresses his view on life through his soliloquy.

In act 5, scene 5 of "Macbeth," the character of Macbeth displays his feelings and thoughts on life. In the soliloquy Macbeth refers to a few things. Macbeth speaks as though he has no fears, that they

were all gone, meaning that on his quest to power all he could see was obtaining everything and with this lust he had no fear, no fear of remorse or anything otherwise. Macbeth further expresses that he has no tingling in his scalp of that fear, or anything, his senses have gone haywire. That fear, the fear of murdering someone, the fear of what will come after all destruction for pure ambition, it had been all gone for so long, Macbeth expresses it as if he wasn't alive at all. Macbeth in the end comes to say that the death, the slaughtering of people does not startle him. He is trying to say that all the killing, his whole trek of ambition; it has changed his heart, his view of life. The truth as he sees it is that the fear is no more, yet
