The second set of predictions by the three witches was revealed to readers and viewers in Act 4 Scene 1. The first set of predictions, in Act 1 Scene 3, had dealt with the rise to power of Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. The second set dealt with threats to the consolidation of that power. For the witches predicted danger from Macduff, a man not born of woman, and the movement of Birnam Wood to Dunsinane Castle. They went on to show that Banquo's family would occupy the throne of Scotland. But the warnings of the three dangers weren't explained. And so Macbeth left with a false sense of security, because of the seeming impossibility of two out of three predictions. But he also left with a renewed sense of purpose, because of the seeming resolution to his problems by the subsequent wholesale slaughter at the Macduffs' home at Fife Castle.

The witches' second vision for Macbeth was to beware of Macduff, a nobleman who posed a threat to his reign. They warned Macbeth to be cautious and watch out for any potential betrayal from Macduff.

What does Macbeth see?
In the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] saw visions on his second visit to the witches, in Act 4 Scene 1. The first vision was of an armed head, which warned him to beware of Macduff. The second vision was of a bloody child, which warned him of the greater powers of the man not born of woman. The third vision was of a crowned child who held a tree in his hand. That vision warned Macbeth of defeat with the movement of Birnam Wood to Dunsinane Castle. Additionally, the witches rounded up a fourth and last vision. The final vision was of eight kings. The last king held a mirror that showed even more kings. Banquo's ghost followed the vision. And so it was clear to Macbeth that the witches were reinforcing their prediction to Banquo, in Act 1 Scene 3: Banquo wouldn't be king, but he'd be the father of kings.

Who is second to blame for Macbeth dowmfall?
There's no right answer. You have to decide for yourself who was responsible, which is what is so great about literature. There's either Lady Macbeth, the witches, or Macbeth himself. I believe Lady Macbeth was first to blame for her manipulation on Macbeth, then Macbeth because he chose to do the things he did under Lady Macbeth's word. The witches meerly told him what was going to happen in Macbeth's life.
