The play begins with three witches talking about prophecies. Starting the play in this way shows that the natural and the unnatural are going to have a large role throughout the play. There was a natural order to the world when Duncan was king, because he was meant to be king, according to the divine right. Macbeth kills Duncan and ruins not only the order of the divine right of kings, but also the natural order of the whole universe. The day after the murder of Duncan, we learn about incredible storms and earth tremors that happened throughout the night before. Ross and the Old Man discuss a horrid scene they both witnessed: horses eating each other. These images show the break of the natural order. Macbeth is not meant to be on the throne because it is not part of the natural order of things. With Macbeth on the throne, there is no good order in Scotland; there is only the order of the unnatural.
