Question

What is meant by the qoutation?Be lion-mettled, proud, and take no care Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are. Macbeth shall never vanquished be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill Shall come against him.

Answer 1

In Shakespeare's "Macbeth," the protagonist talks to the witches, who foresee his future and give them a false sense of security. For instance, the Third Apparition shows a child being crowned and tells Macbeth not to fear haters or conspirers because he will be safe until the forest moves to his castle. As a consequence, Macbeth is now (falsely) convinced that he will rule forever, because he will not be harmed, nobody will overthrow him, and it is impossible for a forest to move.
