ll 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 Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Answer:

Spoken by Macbeth in Act V scene v, after Seyton brought the news of Lady Macbeth's death, implying at the meaninglessness of one's life.

Explanation:

These lines are a quote from the tragedy play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare. Taken from Act V scene v, these words are said by Macbeth after he hears of the death of his wife, lady Macbeth.

Macbeth at first seemed to be shaken with the news brought by Seyton that "the queen, my lord, is dead." But then, Macbeth began talking of the inevitability of death for everyone. He accepts that "she should have died hereafter", and that "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

/ Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

/ Signifying nothing." This could also be taken as his acceptance of the meaninglessness of human life, which also indirectly made his act of murdering King Duncan an insignificant act. He is in a way, justifying his murderous acts and seems to imply their insignificance. After all,  life is just a shadow cast by a brief candle.

1. He censors his own letter because he has been immensely involved in the censor's work, going so far as to override his own wishes, so that the government's wishes are fulfilled.

2. This is an example of irony and contradiction, because Juan decided to accept the job as a censor, to prevent the letters he sends from being censored, but he ends up doing exactly the opposite.

3. This reinforces the idea that the political situation in Argentina was very oppressive and authoritarian, going so far as to change the thinking of citizens who, instead of fighting it, were completely manipulated, to the point of helping.
