does not want any of the witches words to come true. Thinking that his kingship
is now safe, the impossible happened. One of the witches words was coming
true, the woods were moving closer to him. Freaking out he see’s Macduff face to
face. Backing down from the first attempt to fight Macbeth ends up getting killed
