In Act 4 Scene 1, the three witches warned Macbeth to beware of Macduff. They also assured him that he was undefeatable except under two circumstances. One was the movement of Birnam Wood to Dunsinane Castle. The other was the power of a man not born of woman. In Act 5 Scene 6, Macbeth was told by a Messenger of the movement of Birnam Wood toward Dunsinane Castle. But Macbeth wasn't worried. His biggest fear was of the man not born of woman. In Act 5 Scene 9, Macbeth and Macduff found themselves on the same part of the battlefield outside of Dunsinane Castle. Macbeth still wasn't worried. But his worries began with a surprise piece of news from Macduff. Macduff explained that he had been delivered by Caesarian section from a dead mother. Therefore, he was delivered, not born. Neither was he born of woman. Instead, he was born of a corpse.
