The disturbance of order in the kingdom of Scotland was reflected in the disturbance of order in the animal kingdom as well. This is shown in Act 11 scene 4 when an old man tells Ross, “Tis unnatural, even like the deed that’s done. On Tuesday last, a falcon, tow ‘ring in her pride of place was by a mousing owl hawk’d at and kill’d.” The old man is describing a scene he had witnessed where an owl had preyed on a falcon. This shows the disturbance of the natural world because falcons are bigger and more powerful than owls. Owls prey on small rodents such as mice. The scene described by the old man is a direct parallel to Macbeth killing Duncan. The owl killing the falcon threw off the whole food chain system, just like Macbeth killing Duncan
