Detailed explanation-1: -Second Apparition: The Bloody Child After being instructed once more not to speak, Macbeth is told by this ghastly illusion to ‘Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn / The power of man. ‘ According to the apparition, Macbeth can’t be killed by anyone born from a woman.
Detailed explanation-2: -The second apparition is a bloody child. He tells Macbeth that no man who was born of a woman will hurt or kill Macbeth. This prediction leaves Macbeth feeling invincible and encourages him to commit additional acts of violence in his quest for the throne.
Detailed explanation-3: -The second apparition is a bloody child which tells Macbeth to “Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn / The power of man, for none of woman born / Shall harm Macbeth” (4.1. 81). This is an equivocation.
