Nature is definitely in discordance with Duncan's death. Lennox tells that he had not experienced such an uncommon night in his young life,
"The night has been unruly, as they say, lamenting heard i'th'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/ Clamoured the livelong night. Some say, the earth / Was feverous and did shake." (2, 3, 46-53) Black birds, strange sounds, earthquakes are all symbols of death and distress. When Jesus died, the Bible says, the earth cracked and the sky turned dark. In scene 4, Ross and the Old Man seem to compete for who has seen the most dreadful sights of the night past. The Old Man noticed that the sun was obscured and owls killed falcons. Ross saw the late king's horses eat each other.
The order of nature has been reversed by Duncan's unnatural death, and the greed and malice behind it.
