Answer:
It forces Charlie to talk to Mr. Donnegan about being a janitor again.
Explanation:
"Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes is a short story of how a mentally r e t a rde d man Charlie Gordon grew from being r e t a rde d to intelligent and then back to his own self. Charlie had always wanted to be intelligent like other people and thus, was selected for a scienti fic experiment which succeeds.
But, not everything was to be permanent. He began to re g r e ss back to his own self, forgetting things he had learned and even the memories he had in his mind. Towards the end of the story, Charlie had re gressed so much, bringing him back to his r e t a rde d self. And being left with no job or income to sustain himself, he had to ask Mr. Donnegan to let him work as a janitor again. This inability to pay his rent forced him to seek the favor of his former acquaintances/ friends/ boss.
In the lines: "life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage", Macbeth is expressing that life lacks substance and he is also comparing it to the life of an actor who is performing and all of a sudden he is no longer doing so.
In the lines: "it is a tale/told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing", Macbeth is comparing life to a story told by someone who lacks intelligence; therefore, it is sort of meaningless.
