Othello doesn't say this. Desdemona does. Othello is ranting at her about how she has been unfaithful to him, and she doesn't know what he is talking about. She knows he is angry, she can read his emotion and the "fury in [his] words", but she doesn't know why he is saying what he is saying: "I understand . . . not your words."

What do some shakespeare words mean?
Most of the words in Shakespeare mean exactly what you think they mean. For example: "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. 'Tis a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" Tomorrow means tomorrow. Creeps means creeps. Petty mean small and insignificant. Pace means pace. Day means day. Syllable means syllable. Recorded means recorded. Time means time. Yesterdays, lighted, fools, dusty, death, candle, life, walking and shadow all mean what you think they mean. A player is an actor. Strutting we still do, also fretting which is usually accompanied by fussing. An idiot is someone who speaks English and does not understand 95% of the words in Shakespeare.
Is Jason from the Sound and the Fury represented in the quote from Shakespeare's Macbeth?
"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to dayTo the last syllable of recorded time,And all our yesterdays have lighted foolsThe way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!Life's but a walking shadow, a poor playerThat struts and frets his hour upon the stageAnd then is heard no more: it is a taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing" (V.v in Macbeth).This whole soliloquy can relate to each and every single character in the novel. For example, "A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more" could refer to Quentin's story because he is constantly obsessed with time before he commits suicide and is "heard no more." Jason could be represented by "full of sound of fury" because throughout his section, he conveys a lot of anger.

What has shakespeare taught through his plays?
Shakespeare's plays were not intended as teaching vehicles. They were intended as entertainment. The more tickets they sold at the Globe, the more money they made. But because Shakespeare was such a very good playwright he was able to create characters of many different kinds who are in their essence, true to life. The forces which shape them are not much different from those which shape people today. Can we not feel Isabella's anguish in Measure for Measure when a man who is the equivalent of the chief of police tries to rape her: "To whom should I complain? Did I tell this, who would believe me?" Do we not feel the plea for humanity of the persecuted Jew Shylock when he says, "Hath not a Jew eyes? . . . fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is?" Shakespeare, unlike his predecessors and many playwrights since, was able to put the audience's mind into the minds even of terrible villains, so we feel their despair and misery. Goneril's wretched "Ask me not what I know!" and Macbeth's terrifyingly bleak "'Tis a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." fill us with pity and horror. If we have any empathy at all, the characters in Shakespeare's plays teach us how we can have empathy for a great variety of people, with many kinds of faults.
