Detailed explanation-1: -Unnatural events occur – such as a ‘mousing owl’, which is usually seen ying close to the ground, killing a high-ying falcon. Duncan’s horses become uncontrollable and, apparently, eat each other.
Detailed explanation-2: -The witches’ prophecies to Banquo and Macbeth These prophecies foreshadow events that will happen later in the play, such as the murder of Duncan and the escape of Fleance.
Detailed explanation-3: -The unnatural things that Ross and the Old Man mention have happened since Duncan’s murder are that it is dark during the day, Duncan’s horses were set free and ate each other, and an owl killed a falcon. “The clock says it’s daytime, but dark night is strangling the sun” (2.4. 7-8).
Detailed explanation-4: -When Macbeth looks at his bloody hands he acts completely shaken and does not believe they belong to him and seems completely traumatized by his own actions. The sight of Duncan’s blood cannot help but make Macbeth feel guilty about the brutal murder he has just committed; therefore saying it was a sorry sight.
