Macbeth does not belive the new prophecies he is given by the apparitions execpt for the third apparition.                                                                                         First apparition “Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth beware Macduff.”                                                                                                       Second apparition “none of women born shall harm Macbeth.”                                                                                                                 Third apparition “Macbeth shall never be vanquish’d be until great Birnam wood to dunsaine hill shall come against him.”

Macbeth acts like he disagrees with the witches new prophecies too because he says “thou art too like the spirit of banquo.”
