In <em>Macbeth</em>, bird imagery is used to symbolize the characters but also to anticipate what is going to happen afterwards. In this dialogue, the Old Man reveals he feels disturbed due to a strange event: an owl has killed a falcon.<u> While the falcon is generally associated to royalty and the day, the owl is linked to the night and mainly to death</u>. In that way, the falcon comes to symbolize King Duncan, whom is murdered by Macbeth, the man that represents the owl.
