| Dec 19, 2021 at 0:08 | comment | added | Lesser son | @user35609 who's inactive so won't see this: As long as we're quoting let's at least be accurate. From 4.1: Second apparition, a bloody child Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth Had I three ears, I'd hear thee. Apparition Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn / The power of man, for none of woman born / Shall harm Macbeth. Same thing. As you imply nothing about can't, only about shan't. The Weird Sisters (that's how they name themselves) are deliberately misleading him, to deliver his soul to hell. The audience can follow as it happens. Angels and ministers of grace defend us! | |

Put fatal in quotes and a few commas for grammar.

| May 6, 2016 at 20:24 | comment | added | Darrel Hoffman | Technically it says "not by the hand of man shall he fall". Does that mean a man could kill him with his foot? You gotta look out for these loopholes... | |
| May 6, 2016 at 19:51 | comment | added | user11521 | Well I guess it doesn't help that the movie makes it looks like it was his utter shock at a woman being there which prevented him from reacting in time... | |

| May 6, 2016 at 13:28 | comment | added | ibid | @Richard - Only unfulfilled Tolkien prophecy I remember was Mîm being slain by a poison dart. And CT says that was only because Tolkien never got around to rewriting Mîm's death. | |
| May 6, 2016 at 13:19 | comment | added | Taladris | @RogueJedi: my first guess when reading the scene as a kid is that he would be killed by Merry :) | |

| May 6, 2016 at 12:31 | comment | added | Rogue Jedi | Could he be killed by a hobbit, elf, dwarf or other member of a non-man race? Additionally, could he be killed by a non-living being such as a member of the Army of the Dead? | |
| May 6, 2016 at 11:55 | comment | added | Andrew Thompson | Perhaps 1) 'fatal' blow ..or.. 2) head blow .. would go better there. It really jumps out at me as odd, the way it is currently written .. | |
| May 6, 2016 at 11:53 | comment | added | TWL | @AndrewThompson haha.. you've got a point there! What I actually meant by 'fatal' blow was the FINAL blow of the sword to the witchking's invisible head | |
| May 6, 2016 at 11:51 | comment | added | TWL | @Richard I believe it was Glorfindel who made the 'prophecy' about the witchking | |
| May 6, 2016 at 11:49 | comment | added | Andrew Thompson | ".. fatal blow to the witchking with their sword? Would the prophecy hold true and the witchking NOT die?" They would die if it was a fatal blow (by definition of 'fatal')! | |
| May 6, 2016 at 11:29 | comment | added | Valorum | Perhaps a good question would be whether prophetic visions in LOTR are fated to occur. | |
| May 6, 2016 at 11:27 | comment | added | Valorum | It's a prophecy. Since it wasn't prophesied, by definition, it can't happen. | |
