Which words in this excerpt from Macbeth represent the idea that Duncan's murder is a disruption of order?

MACBETH:
Who can be wise, amaz'd, temperate, and furious,
Loyal and neutral, in a moment? No man:
(The expedition of my violent love
Outrun the pauser reason.) Here lay Duncan,
(His silver skin lac'd with his golden blood;)
And his gash'd stabs look'd like (a breach in nature
For ruin's wasteful entrance:) there, the murderers,
Steep'd in the colors of their trade, (their daggers
Unmannerly breech'd with gore): who could refrain,
That had a heart to love, and in that heart
Courage to make 's love known?

ah..mcbeth..i think the key words would be
who can be wise amaz'd temperate and furious loyal and neutral,his gash'd stabs look'd like a breach in nature

Answer:

(A breach in nature

For ruin's wasteful entrance:)

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's tragedy play "Macbeth" revolves around the over ambition of the protagonist in attaining power and doing anything to keep it. The paranoia of Macbeth after the prophecies of the three witches came true only keeps on increasing, leading to his downfall.

The given excerpt from Act II scene iii of the play shows the scene right after the discovery of the murder of King Duncan. Macbeth acts as if he had no idea of it, appearing shocked and in disbelief. He exclaims "Who can be wise, amaz'd, temperate, and furious, Loyal and neutral, in a moment?". He then continues to stress on the untimely and unlawful act of murdering the king. The words "a breach in nature/ for ruin's wasteful entrance" signify the idea of a disruption of order.
