Detailed explanation-1: -Macbeth believes that he is invincible over Macduff’s army because the Witches and the apparitions prophesied “none of woman born / Shall harm Macbeth” (4.1.82–83) and “Macbeth shall never vanquished be until / Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill / Shall come against him” (4.1.96–98).
Detailed explanation-2: -Macbeth reassures himself that he will not lose his kingdom to Malcom by talking about how Malcom was born of a woman, and as the spirit had told him, he should not be fearful of anyone born of a woman.
Detailed explanation-3: -How does Macbeth plan to protect himself from Macduff’s threat? He says from now on, if he decides to do something, he will act on it.
Detailed explanation-4: -Macbeth claims that he cannot be defeated because of the witches’ prophecy but Macduff then reveals that he was born by Caesarean birth. Macbeth vows to fight on and the two men battle. You can take a look at the whole scene here.
