Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing."

Act 4 Scene 3

Nature is referred to many times in Macbeth. Whenever something bad happens, for example the killing of King Duncan, things in nature go awry. The characters begin to worry since there is suddenly clouds, birds flying, and wind.

Shakespeare included one very specific example in Act 2, in which the poor were asking for spare grain. This alluded to his own status as a ruthless businessman in his time, and how he hoarded good and sold them back to the poor at inflated prices. This act of his play insinuates his guilt for his actions.

This is the banquet when Banquo's ghost appears. What with the appearance of the ghost, Macbeth's ravings, Lady Macbeth's attempts to keep the party atmosphere going, and the guests' attempts to remain polite, it's pretty tense.

According to that time period weather reflected the actions of man. The weather would be bad if man acted out badly. The weather was good if man acted as should.
