The song “U Can’t Touch This,” by MC Hammer, perfectly describes how Macbeth is feeling. He concludes that since everyone is born from a woman, no one is able to kill him. “U Can’t Touch This” also has an upbeat and jovial tune that matches Macbeth’s naive outlook on his future. The way Macbeth feels in the beginning of Act IV is summed-up in the song’s iconic lyric: “can’t touch this” (“U Can’t Touch This”).
