In The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare, if the spirits’ prediction is correct that Macbeth will not be killed by a man “of woman born,” why is it that Macduff is able to kill Macbeth? because the prediction by the spirits is false because Macduff was a spirit himself because Macduff’s mother died in childbirth because Macduff was not born of a woman

Answer: because Macduff was not born of a woman.

Step-by-step explanation:

Macduff was the only agent capable of destroying Macbeth. He killed Macbeth in battle. As the name "Cesarean" suggests, this is not exactly a new procedure. ... Unfortunately for Macbeth, the Scottish nobleman Macduff was "from his mother's womb/ Untimely ripped," and thus not naturally "born of woman"
