Question

Which upheaval of nature does Shakespeare use to symbolize and reflect the topsy-turvy turbulence of ambitious murder?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

During medieval times, it was believed that the well-being of a country was related to the goodness and justice of its king. If the King was good and just, then the nation will have good harvests and good weather. If there was political order, then there would be natural order.

For example in Macbeth, shakespeare shows this connection between the political and natural world: when Macbeth disrupts the social and political order by the 'ambitious murdering' of Duncan and bringing injustice to the throne, nature goes off the rails. Incredible storms rage, the earth tremors, animals go insane and eat each other. The unnatural events of the physical world emphasize the horror of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's ambition.
