Riddles and Images

"Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! beware Macduff; Beware the thane of Fife. Dismiss me. Enough."(IV.i.71-72) 

 

Here is apparition that Macbeth sees when the witches tell him more about his near future. This is how I imagined the apparition in the scene. At this point of time in the play, Macbeth is not as confident as he is and all his plans are starting to fall on him. Macbeth become scared of Macduff when hearing the ghost tells him to be aware of him. He just wants the ghost to tell him that he will be okay, as he seems very hopeless in this part of the scene.

 "Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn The power of man, for none of woman born Shall harm Macbeth. " (IV.i.79-81)

After the first apparition, Macbeth was wondering if Macduff is going to kill him and then this was revealed to him which gave him ease. Any man who is women born will not kill him. He was sure that he knew of no one women born and he starts to feel safe again. In those days every one was women born, not c-section.  This picture is just of a lady that is ready to have a c-section. 

"Be lion-mettled, proud; and take no care Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are: Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be until Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill Shall come against him." (IV.i.90-94)

The last revelation, Macbeth hears is of the Great Birnam wood reaching Dunsinane. Macbeth is sure that trees will not walk to Dunsinane as that is impossible but little does he know that these trees will be cut and will carried by people up to Dunsinane, resulting in his death coming true.
