Sound and the Fury

[Proust71]

Can anyone elucidate which act/scene of MacBeth the quote Faulkner used to title this masterpiece? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I don't mean to be a jerk, but it took me literally five seconds to figure out which act and scene it was from.

It's called Google.

Type in: "Sound and Fury" and Shakespeare and Macbeth

Then on an appropriate web page use the "Find" function on your internet browser (under "Edit" in the toolbar of Internet Explorer).

While I could've just given you the answer and saved my time writing. You should learn how to find these things yourself.

In the most famous "tomorrow" monologue that I know by heart ! :flare:
(as I'm working on Macbeth )

"She should have died hereafter (speaking about Lady Macbeth who has just
killed herself) There would have been a time for such a world .
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to
day . And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusy death .
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 ." (the 5th scene of act V)

Having spent much time in learning quotes from the play, I was wondering when it could come in handy ! I didn't expect being lead to use it here !

Yet I haven't read that Faulkner book . Would you advise me to do so ?

Without a doubt. The Sound and the Fury is a masterpiece of modern literature.
