Best Answer

In the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] didn't fear the soldiers that were reported, and then seen, to be marching on the royal castle at Dunsinane. The witches had warned him against Birnam Wood moving to Dunsinane Castle. That indeed was what was happening. Each one of the soldiers in the force of invading Englishmen and collaborating Scotsmen had plucked and carried a bough from Birnam Wood. Likewise had the witches warned Macbeth against Macduff. But the warning that Macbeth feared was the caution against the man not born of woman. He always was fearless in battle. He always threw himself in the very middle of the bloodiest of frays. So he figured that he had a chanceagainst the armies and against Macduff.
