It is a tale told by an idiot; full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." I had to memorise it when I played Macbeth at school.
To be honest, I cant understand the entire play or any of his work for that matter. I only remember this line and loved it so much I wrote my own spin on it. It is the very first poem in my link.
I understood the Oedipus Trilogies though. Wrote another about Antigony too. You have a damned good memory to be in that play, Shakespeare is the toughest work to do.
