When Macbeth went to meet the witches for the second time, they showed him three visions to predict his future. One of the visions was a Bloody Child which appeared with a thunder, “Be bloody, bold, and resolute. Laugh to scorn / the power of man, for none of women born / Shall harm MacBeth” (Mac 4.1.90-93).
