The title of the novel, "The Sound and the Fury", is taken from a Shakespearean phrase, "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." Faulkner's use of this phrase underscores the themes of impermanence and the fleeting nature of human existence. The novel suggests that the values and traditions of the Old South are ultimately "signifying nothing", empty and devoid of meaning in the face of modernity and change.
