In the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare, Macbeth is killed in the final act by Macduff. Macduff reveals that he was not "of woman born" in the traditional sense, but was instead born by cesarean section, fulfilling the witches' prophecy that Macbeth would not be killed by any man born of a woman. This loophole allows Macduff to defeat Macbeth and ultimately kill him.
