In Shakespeare's Macbeth, the witches show Macbeth an apparition which tells him that he will not be defeated until Birnam Wood marches to Dunsinane. Macbeth, upon hearing this, feels relieved as he understands that it is impossible for the trees in the woods to march from one place to another. However, when Macduff and his army are coming to Dunsinane to fight Macbeth, they cut off branches from trees to hide behind them as they march towards Macbeth's castle.
