There were many examples of deception in the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth'. But the most significant example that had the greatest impact on the course of events was the deception of the three witches. They told Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] that he'd be safe from all men born of women. They said that he needed to fear only the man that wasn't born of a woman. They also told him that he needed to beware of Macduff. But they didn't link the two predictions. So Macbeth had a false sense of security. He never once considered the man not born of woman to be Macduff, who was delivered by Caesarian section from a dead mother.
