Detailed explanation-1: -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. The two fight, and Macduff slays Macbeth offstage.
Detailed explanation-2: -However, this leaves his castle, wife and children undefended, and Macbeth has Macduff’s family killed. This spurs on his anger and desire to restore Scotland. Macduff is finally able to kill Macbeth as he was, as the witches’ prophecy stated, “from his mother’s womb untimely ripped”.
Detailed explanation-3: -Macbeth is promised by the witches that no man who is naturally born of a woman will be able to defeat him. However, Macduff was delivered by a cesarean section, so he technically was not naturally born. This loophole allows him to kill Macbeth in a duel to the death.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Macbeth taunts Macduff but Macduff just wants to fight. 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.
