Final answer:
In Shakespeare's play Macbeth, Macduff is the character who was not 'born of woman' according to the prophecy
Step-by-step explanation:
Macbeth was not 'born of woman'. In Act IV, Scene 1 of William Shakespeare's play Macbeth, the witches give Macbeth a series of prophecies. One prophecy states that Macbeth 'shall never vanquished be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill shall come against him.' Macbeth interprets this to mean that no man 'born of woman' can harm him, as all men are born of women. However, Macduff, who is later revealed to have been born via Caesarean section, is able to defeat Macbeth, fulfilling the prophecy without being in direct conflict with the statement that no man 'born of woman' can harm him.
