What are some paradoxes in "Macbeth"?
That's interesting. Can you elaborate on the paradox "Not of woman born"?
This paradox is used when Macduff tells Macbeth that he was "untimely ripped" from his mother's womb. It is ironic because Macduff was technically born in the usual way, but because he was delivered via C-section, he can claim that he was not born of woman. This paradox contributes to the play's theme that the witches' prophecies can be interpreted in multiple ways.
