Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Why does Macbeth feel he can ignore the first apparition’s warning? He knows Macduff was born of woman, so he doesn’t need to fear Macduff.

Detailed explanation-2: -DAVINA: Macduff is saying that he wasn’t born through the normal birthing process. Instead, his mother’s abdomen was cut open and he was removed directly from the womb, presumably because his mother was dying.

Detailed explanation-3: -Macbeth is going to murder Macduff, to make sure that fate keeps its promises. That way he can prove that he’s not afraid of either fate or Macduff. As Macbeth sits in the royal castle awaiting the battle with Malcolm’s forces, he tries to persuade himself that he is not afraid.

Detailed explanation-4: -Macbeth taunts Macduff but Macduff just wants to fight. Macbeth claims that he cannot be defeated because of the witches’ prophecy but Macduff then reveals that he was born by Caesarean birth.
