Question

Three apparitions appear to Macbeth. They tell him each of the following EXCEPT:

a. Beware Macduff, Thane of Fife
b.You will be safe until Birnam Wood comes to your castle
c. The English army will defeat you at Fife
d. No one of woman born shall harm Macbeth

Answer 1

The apparitions in 'Macbeth' do not tell Macbeth that the English army will defeat him at Fife; they relay other prophecies regarding Macduff, Birnam Wood, and Macbeth's vulnerability.

Step-by-step explanation:

The apparitions in Shakespeare's Macbeth deliver several prophecies to Macbeth, but the statement 'c. The English army will defeat you at Fife' is not one of them. The three key prophecies given by the apparitions are: 'a. Beware Macduff, Thane of Fife,' 'b. You will be safe until Birnam Wood comes to your castle,' and 'd. No one of woman born shall harm Macbeth.' These cryptic messages ultimately contribute to Macbeth's downfall as he misinterprets their true meaning and the conditions by which they can come true.
