In Macbeth by William Shakespeare it is believed that the universe and the king were connected. Therefore, if the two were connected, when the king was killed the universe would respond with unnatural events. In this play, unnatural events foreshadow evil. Macbeth's unnatural events predict the fall of the kingdom and Macbeth's death; for the universe is connected to the king. People of the Elizabethan period believed in the divine right of kings, which was the belief that the king was God's chosen representative on earth who also spoke to God. Killing the king would bring disorder to the universe. An example of this disorder is when Macbeth kills Duncan. The day after Duncan's murder, Ross and an old man discuss the unnatural events that occurred. In their discussion the old man says that last Tuesday a hawk flying high in the air was attacked and killed by an owl that hunted mice. A line from the conversation between Ross and the old man: “It's unnatural, just like the deed that was done. Last Tuesday a hawk, circling in its place of honor, was shot and killed by a mouse owl (1).” The second unnatural event is when Duncan's horses broke their stables. After demolishing their stalls, they run out. While they were free from captivity, without listening to anyone, they then ate each other. Ross explains the unnatural event to the old man: "And Duncan's horses - a very strange and certain thing - for swift and swift, the servants of their race, having become wild by nature, broke their stables, rushed out, fighting against obedience, as they would wage war on humanity (2). “The belief of the divine right of kings is that the king and the universe are connected. If the King does a bad deed... at the center of the card... Macbeth's downfall. Macbeth is so paranoid that he has Macduff's family massacred. Macduff is not there to protect his family when the assassins arrive at his house because he has fled to England. When the assassins arrive and announce that Macduff is a traitor for leaving Scotland, Macduff's son denies all charges. When one of the assassins hears this, he kills Macduff's son by stabbing him. The killer then runs after Lady Macduff. This tragic message reaches Macduff while he is in England. While in England, Malcolm and Macduff plan to take back the kingdom and kill Macbeth. The murder of his family pushes Macduff more to kill Macbeth. Later in the play Macduff manages to kill Macbeth. I think this act suggests that all the evil committed by the evildoers will soon catch up with them or will eventually come back to haunt them, as it did for Macbeth..
