The phrase "Life's but a walking shadow" suggests that life is transient and insubstantial. The phrase "that struts and frets his hour upon the stage" implies that life is filled with meaningless actions and worries. Finally, the phrase "it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" emphasizes the pointlessness of life. Therefore, the word "heard" fits in the context of the quote as it signifies the act of perceiving sound, which aligns with the theme of the passage.
