Detailed explanation-1: -A bloody child tells Macbeth that no one born from a woman can harm him. This could represent Macduff because he was born by Caesarean section. It could also refer to Macbeth himself because his own ambition leads to his downfall, and he has changed so much that he is no longer considered human.
Detailed explanation-2: -The second apparition, the bloody child, represents Macduff. He’s bloody because, as a baby, he was ripped from his mother’s womb. So while assuring Macbeth that none of woman born can harm him, the witches show him Macduff, was was “not of woman born” and will defeat him.
Detailed explanation-3: -Here, Macbeth encounters three apparitions: a severed head, a bloody child, and a royal child holding a tree. Each of them respectively represents Macbeth himself, his childish naivete, and Malcolm’s offensive from the Birnam Wood.
Detailed explanation-4: -Macbeth Children Symbolism. In Macbeth, the killing of children becomes a symbol of ultimate evil. This is shown when Macbeth orders the murder of children in the family line for king and when he kills Young Siward and Macduff’s young son.
Detailed explanation-5: -The quote means that nobody born from a woman can ever kill Macbeth. Since Macduff is able to kill him, the quote suggests that women birthing via Cesarean sections are not mothers in the same way as mothers birthing naturally, and that their babies are not born to them.
