Detailed explanation-1: -This prophecy later comes true when Macbeth murders Banquo, having taken the throne for himself. The witches tell Macbeth that he will become king, that no man born of woman can defeat him, and that he will not be vanquished until Birnam Wood should come to Dunsinane, all of which turns out to be true.
Detailed explanation-2: -At no point do the witches lie to Macbeth-he simply hears what he wants to hear and ignores the rest. It is ironic that Macbeth falls for the witches’ equivocations, because Macbeth and his wife are master equivocators themselves.
Detailed explanation-3: -Macbeth, despite influences of the witches and Lady Macbeth, is responsible for his downfall. The witches are not fully to blame but do play a part in Macbeth’s tragedy. In William Shakespeare’s play “Macbeth", Macbeth is a hero who soon destroys himself by his own wicked and selfish ambitions.
Detailed explanation-4: -A servant rushes in with news that Birnam Wood is marching toward Dunsinane. Macbeth rushes to see for himself, and realizes the witches tricked him.
