Shakespeare's macbeth, act v scene 5

macbeth. she should have died hereafter;
there would have been a time for such a word.
tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
creeps in this petty pace from day to day
to the last syllable of recorded time;
and all our yesterdays have lighted fools
the way to dusty death. out, out, brief candle!
life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
that struts and frets his hour upon the stage
and then is heard no more. it is a tale

which line refers to the meaninglessness of life?

a. "all our yesterdays have lighted fools/ the way to dusty death."
b. "to-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,/ creeps in this petty pace from day to day,"
c. "out, out, brief candle! "
d. "full of sound and fury,/ signifying nothing."

(absurdly.) i always wanted me one just like it! which word or phrase from the text best supports the idea that the adults think the hat is inappropriate? “have mercy” (giggling fiercely) (indignantly) “what’s the matter”
