Burnham Wood, which is moved by Macduff and his army.
The forest in Macbeth is called Birnam Wood. This forest plays a significant role in the play, particularly in fulfilling the witches' prophecy that Macbeth will not be defeated until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane Hill.
The forest outside Macbeth's castle is called Birnam Wood.
The reference to Birnam Wood in Macbeth comes from the witches' prophecy that Macbeth will be safe until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane Hill. Later in the play, Malcolm's army camouflages themselves with branches from Birnam Wood to fulfill this prophecy, leading to Macbeth's downfall.
1. Macbeth will be Thane of Cawdor. 2. Macbeth will be Thane of Glamis. 3. Macbeth will become king hereafter. 4. Beware of Macduff. 5. Macbeth cannot be defeated until Birnam wood comes to Dunsinane hill. 6. Only someone who was not "of woman born" could defeat Macbeth.
The name of Macbeth's thandom is Cawdor.
In the play Macbeth, the prophecy states that Macbeth will not be defeated until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane Hill. To disguise their numbers and intentions, Malcolm's army uses branches from Birnam Wood as camouflage while advancing to Dunsinane. This tactic fulfills the prophecy and ultimately leads to Macbeth's downfall.
Brave Macbeth
The messenger thought Birnam Wood was moving because he saw soldiers using tree branches as camouflage to approach Macbeth's castle. This coincided with the witches' prophecy that said Macbeth would be safe until Birnam Wood moved to Dunsinane.
In the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare, Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane when Malcolm's army cuts down branches to use as camouflage while advancing on Macbeth's castle. This fulfills the witches' prophecy to Macbeth that he will not be defeated until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane.
Birnam Wood. According to Shakespeare, Macbeth would never be vanquished until Birnam Wood became Dunsinane. The witches had predicted that Macbeth would never be defeated "until Birnam Wood marched." Then, in Scene 4 (of Act 3, I think) Malcolm, with MacDuff, ready to invade Macbeth's castle, tells his men to "hew him down a bough, and bear,t before him" as camouflage - so the woods marched !!.
The prophecy that Macbeth will be safe until Great Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane Hill comes true when Macduff orders his men to cut down trees and branches from Birnam Wood in order to hide their numbers as they advance on Macbeth's castle on Dunainane Hill. Macbeth is alarmed, but convinced that he will be spared because of the prophecy that he cannot be killed by a "man of woman born." In the final battle, Macbeth is killed by Macduff, who was born with a caesarian section.
