Summary

This quote is from Shakespeare's play Macbeth. It illustrates an internal monologue by Macbeth, after he has committed the murder of King Duncan. The voice he imagines hearing symbolizes guilt and remorse, declaring that Macbeth will not experience peaceful sleep anymore. Sleep, described as innocent and essential, is seen as a restorative force that relieves the mental and physical burdens of life. Macbeth's heinous act disrupts this natural state, creating a sense of unease and highlighting the consequences of his actions on his conscience.
