There are many themes, which are presented, in the second scene of the tragic play written by William Shakespeare. However, the most substantial theme in scene two is how there is disorder or disharmony in nature and the environment around Macbeth and the other characters in the play.
             In the beginning of Act two, Scene one, Shakespeare describes the setting as a dark night, so almost immediately the night is perceived as evil. Fleance says "The moon is down. I have not heard the clock" (II, i, 2). This comment adds to the evil nature of the night. Shakespeare is foreshadowing that something foul will occur soon, obviously what he is trying to foreshadow is how Macbeth is going to kill Duncan. "There's husbandry in heaven; their candles are all out. A heavy summons lies like lead upon me, and yet I would not sleep. Merciful powers, restrain in me cursed thoughts that nature gives way to in repose" (II, i, 6-11). This quote also shows how darkness evokes evilness, because of a disturbance in nature, for example in this quote Banquo talks about how the heavens' candles are out, this means that stars are not shining so it is a gloomy and dark night.
             Another disturbance in nature comes from Macbeth's mouth, "Now o'er the one-half world nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse the curtained sleep" (II, i, 61-63). This statement means that everywhere he looks, the world seems dead and withered. It also gives him ideas that the murder he is about to commit will have far spread repercussions and consequences. Basically he is having second thoughts before killing Duncan.
