Apparitions

Once again Macbeth meets with the three witches. This time the witches have prepared three apparition for Macbeth. He orders them to answer his questions. The first apparition warns Macbeth to fear Macduff. This relieves Macbeth because he fears Macduff and now he knows who he must kill next. The second apparition first repeats Macbeth's name three times. This confuses Macbeth and he mocks the witches because this information did not benefit him. The witches warn him to listen as the second apparition finishes with an important message, "Be bloody, bold and resolute. Laugh to scorn the power of man for none of a woman born shall harm Macbeth." Macbeth translates this to himself that he shouldn't fear Macduff, because he is born of a woman. The third and final apparition, states that Macbeth should not worry because he won't be defeated until Birnam Wood marches to fight him at Dunsinane Hill. Macbeth brushes this off as he believes that this will never happen.
