Throughout Macbeth, Shakespeare focuses on the theme of nature and its rightful order. Everything in Macbeth opposes the natural order, from the setting of the play to the murder of Duncan. In order to achieve his goal of becoming king, Macbeth is filled with a dangerous ambition that drives him to commit the treacherous crime of murdering Duncan in his sleep, a disruption of nature itself. Because Macbeth has made an enemy of nature, the rest of the plot focuses on this ongoing fight between the two until Macbeth's death. Shakespeare describes the importance of a natural order and the consequences that can arise from disrupting its logic. Macbeth is a vital character who was ultimately doomed because he violated nature and was subsequently defeated by it. From the beginning, Shakespeare introduces three unnatural characters, the Weird Sisters. They are supernatural beings of unknown origin who “should be women” and “yet [their] beards” like their other dark looks leave a question of uncertainty as to their gender (1.3, 39-42). These unnatural beings later meet Macbeth and greet him as the new king of Scotland. Immediately, Macbeth is filled with a huge dose of ambition to the point of asking himself: “why do I yield to this suggestion […] against the use of nature? (1.3, 134-137). He realized that the uncomfortable feeling of temptation within him was unusual and he felt compelled to fulfill the witches' prophecy. After much lament and hesitation, Macbeth murders King Duncan in his sleep, the first act against the will of nature. He had murdered “the innocent who slept” and as punishment “Macbeth shall sleep no more” (2.2, 48-56). However, Macbeth didn't just kill sleep. In the middle of the paper a ghost appeared and when the woods of Birnam approached Dunsinane he realized how wrong he had been. By killing Duncan, Macbeth had already triggered a catastrophe in the systematic workings of nature and it seems that nature had decided to play along. Macbeth had become, in a sense, unnatural. Therefore, with Macbeth's death, everything returned to normal with Malcolm as the rightful king in Macbeth's place. Nature had won its battle and, unsurprisingly, man had lost once again. Macduff may have killed Macbeth in technical terms, but in reality, it was nature that truly killed him. He died in despair trying to secure his fate and overcome nature, but he reached his limits. Nature can be the only winner, and as Macbeth's ultimate fate shows, anyone who violates it would be condemned to death. Humanity is too small to cope with such a big world.
