What two strange occurrences are reported in act two of Macbeth?

Answer 1

Old man says Last Tuesday a hawk flying high in the air was attacked and killed by an owl hunting mice.

"A falcon towering in her pride of place was by a mousing owl hawked and killed" SCENE IV line 13

Ross.Duncan's horses, beautiful and swift, the best of their kind, broke down their stalls and ran wild. They refused to obey, as if they were at war with mankind.

"turned wild in nature, borke their stalls, flung out, contending'gainst obedience"

Answer 2

Since you don't say which of the five acts you are talking about, it could be any of the strange occurrences which are reported in the play (I am not including the strange occurrences which are actually played out on stage like witches making a weird potion or ghosts sitting in at the supper table): horses eating each other, a forest which moves, a man hearing a disembodied voice saying 'Sleep no more!", a woman that writes letters in her sleep, a king that cures sick people by touching them or a man incapable of saying the word "Amen", to name a few.

Answer 3

You don't say what Act but I'm guessing Act II with the air-drawn dagger, the voice saying "Sleep no more", Duncan's horses which eat each other, and the wind blowing down chimneys. There is also the witches in Act I who disappear into thin air, a ghost in Act III, more witches in Act IV, and an army camouflaged with a moving forest in Act V.

Answer 4

Chimneys being blown down, cannibal horses

Answer 5

The pathetic fallacy, the idea that the universe mirrors the moral or emotional state of the characters in the drama.
