"The Noise and the Tumult" is Faulkner's most representative work. It is also his favorite work, and the title of the book comes from a line in Shakespeare's famous work "Macbeth": "Life is like an idiot's dream, full of noise and turmoil".

The artistic techniques of the works are diverse, showing the originality of the author. The ingenious use of stream-of-consciousness techniques, multi-angle methods, and the comprehensive use of artistic techniques such as "mythological mode" make the connotation of the work continue to be expanded, from the fate of one family to the fate of the whole human race, so it has a very profound meaning.
