He opened his mouth. The words were there. He was about to say them when a jolt of terror went through him, the terror of someone who, wandering in a mist, pauses only to realise that they have stopped inches from the edge of a gaping abyss. The way she was looking at him - she could read what was in his eyes, he realised. It must have been written plainly there, like words on the page of a book. There had been no time, no chance, to hide it.“ Will, ” she whispered. “Say something, Will.”But there was nothing to say. There was only emptiness, as there had been before her. As there would always be.' I have lost everything', Will thought. 'Everything. .Cassandra Clare
About This Quote
William Shakespeare, in his play 'Macbeth', has a character known as Lady Macbeth. In the play, Lady Macbeth is described as a woman who is consumed by ambition and lust for power. She is also described as a victim of her own obsession. She is often referred to as the "dark lady" because of her dark nature and, like many of Shakespeare's female characters, she is portrayed as a woman who brings suffering to those around her.
In this quote, we see that Lady Macbeth is about to utter some words that will result in the death of her husband and all of his kinsmen and family members. The lines that she speaks can be interpreted as: "I have lost everything" and "I am lost." These lines can mean many things but since they are spoken directly after she has killed her husband, we can assume they mean the same thing: "I have lost everything."
