What do the witches mean by from his mothers womb untimely ripped?

The witches mean that Macduff was not born through natural childbirth, but rather was delivered through a surgical procedure (a cesarean section). This detail is meant to suggest that Macduff is not subject to the same fate as other men and may pose a threat to Macbeth.

Why is Macduff able to kill Macbeth?

He is the man not of woman born mentioned in the witches' prophecy, which is why they warned him to "beware Macduff". He is not born of woman because he was delivered by C-section. Apparently in order to be born you need to be born in the natural way.


What is it about the murder of macduff's family that causes many of the thanes to leave Macbeth?

Probably its pointlessness. Macbeth accomplished nothing by killing Macduff's family. They were no threat to him, and killing them only made Macduff more angry and determined to have revenge. It also involves the killing of children. Then, as now, crimes against children are considered among the worst. The play is full of images of the murder of children: the finger of the birth-strangled babe, the baby whose brains would be dashed out by Lady Macbeth, Fleance, on whom a murder attempt is made, and Macduff's son who bravely puts up a fight against the "shag-eared villain". The Macbeths represent an attack on the future generation by the present, as unnatural child-killers. Macduff, on the other hand is a son who has killed his mother (mothers invariably died after a ceasarian birth at that time).

How does lady Macbeth again echo the words of the witches?

They tell him that no man born from a woman could kill him, and that his reign will be over when the forest comes running towards him. Of course he never thought that either of these would be possible. But the English Army attack him by running up covered in leaves and branches, which is the forest running towards him. Then Macduff kills him as he was not born but 'ripped from his mothers womb'


Why is Macbeth so sure nothing bad will happen to him?

The apparition told him that he could not be defeated until Birnam Wood came to Dunsinane Hill. Macbeth assumes that that is never going to happen, so Malcolm cannot defeat him no matter how large his army is.

Who were the monarchs during Macbeth's life and what was their significance?

The historical record hasn't indicated when Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] was born. But his father, Findlaech mac Ruaidri, died in 1020. So sometime during that year would have been the latest that Macbeth would have been born. Macbeth was King of Scotland for 17 years, 1040-1057. He succeeded King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040], who had been killed by his own men for having launched an unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified and unjust invasion of Macbeth's lands. King Duncan was the immediate successor to King Malcolm II [d. November 25, 1034]. Malcolm had ruled since 1005. Something significant about the three kings during Macbeth's life was their relationship to each other. Macbeth's mother was Malcolm's daughter or granddaughter. Duncan's parents were Crinan [d. 1045], Hereditary Abbot of Dunkeld; and Bethoc, Malcolm's eldest daughter. So Macbeth's and Duncan's mothers were related as sisters or as niece and aunt. Some sources even have identified Bethoc as the wife first to Macbeth's father, and then to Duncan's.
