Detailed explanation-1: -Macduff then tells Macbeth that his prophecy does not protect from him, as he had to be removed from his mother by C-section and thusly is not “Woman-born”. He then fights Macbeth to the death. He reappears in scene nine with Macbeth’s head and announces that Malcolm is now the king of Scotland.
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: -And what will be the effects of that decision? In “Macbeth”, Macduff-a man untimely ripped from his mother’s womb by a C-section-kills Macbeth at the end of the play, fulfilling the witches’ prophecy that no one born of woman could kill Macbeth.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Although Macbeth believes that he cannot be killed by any man born of a woman, he soon learns that Macduff was “from his mother’s womb / Untimely ripped” (Act V Scene 8 lines 2493/2494)-meaning that Macduff was born by caesarean section.
