Answer:

'It reveals that he feels little for her anyway. He feels quite indifferent towards the people in his life. He feels hopeless and does not value life.'

Step-by-step explanation:

Macbeth's soliloquy displaying his regret over the brevity of human life. He deeply felt that she should have lived longer and calls life to be too short as it seems meaningless. This reaction reveals that he had concern for her and he felt for her which made him entirely hopeless and consider life to be utterly absurd. He suddenly turned indifferent and unconcerned to people.
