Shelley’s reference to the wind, as the “sister of Spring” and a “Maenad,” shows how the wind is like a woman, spontaneous and free, with the liberty to be a gentle soul or a vicious amazon. He sees the wind with wonderment, and at the same time respects it and or even fears it.

Therefore, Macbeth is uncomfortable in them because he is continually conscious of the fact that they do not belong to him.
