Answer:

If you say that someone is playing with fire, you mean that they are doing something dangerous that may result in great harm for them and cause many problems.

When fire was the exclusive property of the gods, it symbolized the divine power to make the world do what you wanted it to do. When you think about it, that's pretty major. So Prometheus decided to make man stand upright as the gods did and to give them fire. He was attempting to manipulate something very dangerous, the gods. it was like he was "playing with fire"

<h3>What is the significance of the action?</h3>

This has to do with the military strategy that was done by the army of Malcolm in an attempt to hide how many men they had.

Hence, we can see that to fulfill the prophecy given to Macbeth when he was told that he will only be defeated when Birnam Wood marches towards him and when the soldiers hold the branches it will look like the woods are marching, this was done by Malcolm's army.
