 * Lennox: "Where we lay,/ our chimneys were blown down, and, as they say,/ lamenting heard i' the air, strange screams of death,/ and prophesying, with accents terrible,/ of dire combustion and confused events./ New hatched to the woeful time. The obscure bird/ clamored the live long night. Some say the earth/ was feverous and did not shake." page 356
 * Old Man: "Even like the deed that's done. On Tuesday last/ a falcon, tow'ring in her pride of place,/ was by a mousing owl hawked at and killed."page 359
 * Macbeth: "As hounds and greyhounds, mongrels, spaniels, curs,/ shoughs, water-rugs, and demi-wolves are clept/ all by the name of dogs. The valved file/ distinguishes the swift, the slow, the subtle,/ the housekeeper, the hunter, every one/ according to the gift whech bounteous nature/ hath in him closed; whereby he does receive/ particular addition, from the bill/ that writes them all alike."page 365
 * Ross: "and Duncan's horses (a thing most strange and certain),/ beauteous and swift, the `minions of their race,/ turned wild in nature, broke their stalls, flung out,/ contending 'gainst obedience, as they would make/ war with mankind." page 359
 * Ross: "By the clock 'tis day,/ and yet dark night strangles the traveling lamp./ ls't night's predominance, or the day's shame,/ that darkness does the face of earth entomb/ when living light should kiss it?" page 359



In the Scottish play, many terrible deaths are committed. In order to emphasize this Shakespeare made the outside world respond. On the night of Duncan's death all things went into chaos. An earthquake happened, the night had no stars and Duncan's horses ate each other. This is only the start of all the disorders. Soon, nature realizes who is committing the bad deeds and personally attacks them with visions, O.C.D., and lack of sleep.
