Harry Potter
A modern day example of unnatural order includes the common and well-known novel series and movie franchise, ‘Harry Potter’. ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ and ‘Macbeth’ have the similar theme of unnatural order as Voldemort in Harry Potter wants power, the elder wand and to become ruler of the magical kingdom. This is similar to Macbeth as he wants to be the eternal King for his kingdom and he will stop anyone who tries to separate him from it.
In Harry Potter, Voldemort believes he is the natural owner of the Elder wand but he is not. The Elder wand can only be rightfully owned if the owner is defeated. During the last battle in ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ Voldemort believed he owned the wand but in reality Harry was the rightful owner as he disarmed Draco of the wand before Voldemort did. Voldemort thought all along that the wand belonged to him when really it belonged to Harry.
This modern day example links to Macbeth and the theme of natural order as Macbeth should never of become King, as Malcolm (King Duncan’s son) was the rightful heir to the throne. In Act V, scene 5, they moving woods are in fact Malcolm’s army, and they have returned to take what is naturally and rightfully theirs, the Kingdom. Both Macbeth and Voldemort believed they owned or had possession of the kingdom/wand but in fact, Harry and Malcolm did. Harry and Malcolm both rightfully and naturally deserved the Kingdom/wand. Both Voldemort and Macbeth went against nature and killed the innocent just so they could feed their power filled mind and so they could ‘own’ what they though was there’s.
In the end of both examples, natural order is evident again as Harry has the Elder wand and Malcolm is King, whilst Voldemort and Macbeth are both defeated and killed in a final battle.
