These words are uttered by Macbeth after he hears of Lady Macbeth’s death, in Act 5, scene 5, lines 16–27. Given the great love between them, his response is oddly muted, but it segues quickly into a speech of such pessimism and despair—one of the most famous speeches in all of Shakespeare—that the audience realizes how completely his wife’s passing and the ruin of his power have undone Macbeth. His speech insists that there is no meaning or purpose in life. Rather, life “is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing.” One can easily understand how, with his wife dead and armies marching against him, Macbeth succumbs to such pessimism. Yet, there is also a defensive and self-justifying quality to his words. If everything is meaningless, then Macbeth’s awful crimes are somehow made less awful, because, like everything else, they too “signify nothing.”

"Farenheit 451" is the novel that was written by Ray Bradbury and which was published in 1953. The story narrates the life of Guy Montag, a firefighter who has to perform his duty, like everyone else, of exterminating literature and all other kinds of writting, that are present in books. In order to do this, Montag, and his colleagues go to different places where books might be present, and instead of putting out fires, fire them to burn books. In this particular excerpt, which is part of the very opening of the novel, the main character is talking about books themselves, and how they were seen as an evil thing that needed to be destroyed, as they were deemed useless. History, and knowledge, says the novel, was now given through other types of media.
