In Shakespeare's Macbeth, the witches prophecy to Macbeth that he cannot be killed by any man born of a woman. Macbeth takes this to mean that he is safe from violence. It is later revealed to him that "Macduff was from his mother's womb untimely ripped," meaning that Macduff was not "born" in the strict sense.
