Detailed explanation-1: -Macbeth visits the witches and they tell him-the only person he needs to beware of is Macduff, no one a woman has given birth to can harm him and he won’t be defeated until Birnam Wood moves. He thinks he’s unbeatable.
Detailed explanation-2: -Macbeth is fearful of how the witches know his deepest desires to be king. If word were to get out about Macbeth’s sinful thoughts and his desire for power, he believes that we would be ruined.
