Macbeth · 1623
She should have died hereafter- there would have been time for such a thing.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker responds to a death by imagining another time for it. The brief statement can suggest a wish for room to face the loss, while also making death sound inevitable. Its restrained wording leaves the feeling unresolved rather than giving grief a direct expression.
