Question

MACBETH. Bring me no more reports; let them fly all! Till Birnam Wood remove to Dunsinane I cannot taint with fear. What’s the boy Malcolm? Was he not born of woman? The spirits that know All mortal consequences have pronounced me thus: “Fear not, Macbeth; no man that’s born of woman Shall e’er have power upon thee.” What is the main idea of the lines spoken by Macbeth from Act V of The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare?

Answer 1

Macbeth is here declaring his belief that he is invincible. Obviously, a man NOT born of woman does not exist, lest it be a god or something. Recall how the witches told macbeth that no man woman born would ever have power over thee. This means that any man born of a woman will face defeat against macbeth. Analyzing it further, it could mean that Macbeth is weak under his wife (which we see after he murders the king, and he is all nerves and tail between his legs, while she is just ready to do whatever it takes to ensure the deed is done.) unfortunately for macbeth, his final enemy was not of woman born. he was untimely ripped (C-section) from the mother. so aha! loophole.
Hope this helps.
