"Be lion-mettled, proud; and take no care Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are: Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be until Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill Shall come against him." (IV.i.90-94)
Macbeth has been told by the third ghost not to worry about anything or anybody because he will not be defeated until Birnam Wood meets and fights Macbeth on Dunsinane Hill. In this comic, Macbeth is standing strong and saying he is proud and brave. Meanwhile though, the forest, which are actually soldiers camouflaged by trees, are on their way to meet Macbeth. This riddle is the most complicated out of all the riddles. It is a bit hard to understand until you read more of the play. I think it was quite interesting how Shakespeare included these riddles in the play as it gave the reader/audience something to think about.
