The discovery of King Duncan's body in "Macbeth" is a pivotal moment that shakes the very foundation of the Great Chain of Being, the Elizabethan concept that envisioned a strict hierarchical order to the universe. Duncan's murder by Macbeth disrupts this divine order, as the king was seen as God's representative on Earth. With Duncan's untimely death, natural order is upended, leading to chaos and disharmony in the kingdom, reflecting the consequences of violating the predetermined cosmic hierarchy.

The dagger is a reference to Macbeth killing two of Duncan's attendants with a dagger, which can be seen to show that he is weak-minded and wants to find someone to be a scapegoat.

Macbeth wears a robe. Macbeth uses clothing to disguise and confuse the other characters' perceptions of their behavior. This is to avoid responsibility and to mislead others about the investigation. Usually assassinating someone requires full armor, and the fact that he is wearing a robe means that he just woke up, not that he killed Duncan.

In this scene, MacDuff wears armor, which represents that he is loyal and brave, and that he is a warrior. This contrasts with the red robes worn by Macbeth, who was once a warrior in armor as well. Macbeth sees Macduff and thinks of the man he once was. And the red robe that Macbeth wears and the crown that he carries signifies that Macbeth became king wearing a robe with Duncan's blood on it, and that Duncan's death was necessary for Macbeth to become king.
