Detailed explanation-1: -Duncan’s horses become uncontrollable and, apparently, eat each other. Shakespeare allows his audience to see that when God’s appointed representative is murdered, the whole of nature is disturbed.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a show of pathetic fallacy, it is established several times that it is deep in the night, as Banquo asks “How goes the night” to Fleance, and Fleance replies that “The moon is down". Banquo: “husbandry in the heaven", and that “their candles are all out". Sense of darkness shrouding over all that is light.
Detailed explanation-3: -Duncan’s well-trained horses have fought and cannibalized each other. These strange natural events are meant to symbolize how Macbeth has upset the natural order by murdering the rightful king and taking his place.
Detailed explanation-4: -’When shall we meet again, in thunder, lightning or in rain?’ ’Fair is foul and foul is fair. ’So foul and fair a day I have not seen. ’The night has been unruly. ’Some say the Earth was feverous and did shake. ’By clock, ‘tis day, and yet dark strangles the travelling lamp.
