Although it wasn't intended as a poem, this is great prose. IMO, it's a poem. Edgar Allan Poe is still my favorite poet, but i must say, these few lines in Macbeth are IMO, the best poem ever written by humankind. This poem IMO truly sums up the history of humankind. I memorized this way back in high school.
i agree that it's nicer with some despair/ insecurity. yet, i qutie like the anger in this one- sometimes just before despair you get this feeling of real rage which i feel really comes across in this
Thanks so much! I have to memorize this! And hearing it really helps!

Doesn't the monologue start with "She should've died hereafter..." ?

This was kinda weak. If you're gonna do this one loud, do it with rage and enthusiasm. If you're going for realism, just watch Gandalf do it.

i just like the fact everyone skips over the first two lines in this "speech" that MacBeth gives.

I don't like this version. Its too definate. I prefer more wearyness in the voice. After all, his wife's just killed herself!
