Question about Macbeth?

Question

What two happenings reverse Macbeth's belief in his own invincibility?
What I am asking is what events change Macbeth ...not what made him think he was invincible...but what makes him realize that he is NOT invincible.
I have read the play and seen it also. Please help with this question. Thanks

Why did someone thumbs down my question???

Answer 1

The question is asking what two things made Macbeth realize that he is human and might possibly lose the battle (battle for the throne, his mind, and the actual physical battle) and even die. During most of the play he thought he was unstoppable or rather, invincible. Invincible means that he cannot be conquered.

After Macbeth completes the murder of Duncan, he is paralyzed with the inability to cope with his actions. He cannot accept what he has done and is filled with tragic guilt, sleeplessness, and haunting images of his own fate. The fight of good versus evil is fierce within him throughout the entire play. He suffers great despair and a complete loss of joy in his life once he realizes the enormity of murdering someone. Other factors might include the tide of the battle tipping against the castle, the fall of the castle without a struggle, the nature of Macduff's birth (cesarian or not born of a woman as the Weird Sisters said), or the wicked truth about the witches' words.

Answer 2

It's been decades since I read Macbeth, but I can help with one of the things. When he learned that the man who eventually killed him was born of Caesarean Section (Iwas from my mother's womb untimely ripped). He had been told he could not be killed by any man born of woman.
