by anyone. He is safe.
Macbeth shall never vanquished be until Great
Birnam Wood to High Dunsinane Hill
The third apparition is saying that Birnam wood will come to The castle
and that is when Macbeth will die
For the blood-boltered Banquo smiles upon me And points at them for his. What? Is this so?
Macbeth sees a line of kings and they are all Banquo’s sons. The
prophecy is still the same.
The castle of Macduff I will surprise, Seize upon Fife, give to
th’ edge ‘o th’ swordMacbeth is planning to kill
everyone at Macduff’s castle.
If he were dead, you’ld weep for him. If you would not, it
were a good sign that I should quickly have a new father.
Macduff’s son is telling his mother that his dad can’t be dead and if he were he
would have a new one soon.
But Macbeth is. A good and virtuous nature may recoil In
an imperial change.
Malcolm and Macduff are saying that Macbeth is a tyrant and that if he keeps
it up there will soon be a new king.
Expire from the flowers in their caps, Dying or ere they
sicken.
Ross is stating that Scotland is getting worse because there is someone who has been good who has now turned
bad.
How does my wife?Why, well.
And all my children?Well too.
The tyrant has not battered at their peace?
Ross is lying to Macduff that his family is fine but they have been
murdered.
Bring thou this fiend of Scotland and myself. Within my sword’s length set him.
Macduff is furious and is going to kill Macbeth. Let the fight begin
