How is Macduff's relationship with Macbeth?
They are not friendly from the very start. When Macbeth is to be crowned, Macduff decides to go home to Fife rather than attend this important event. That's not a very polite thing to do to a king.
How tall is Macduff?
MacDuff Knox is 5' 10".
What is the purpose of act II scene iv in Macbeth?
The scene is divided into two parts. In the first, Ross and an old man talk about all the strange portents which accompanied the murder. Since a lot of this has already been heard in the conversation between Lennox and Macbeth, thus creating the pathetic fallacy intended, this scene is considered superfluous by some directors. The second half of the scene, after Macduff enters, tells us the result of the council called after the murder: the grooms are found guilty of the murder, Malcolm and Donalbain are suspected of bribing them to do so by reason of their flight, and Macbeth has been named as the new king. We also find out something about Macduff's character--while Ross will attend the coronation, Macduff, who is not a courtier, would rather stay at home. This prepares us for Macbeth's question later on "How say'st thou that Macduff denies us his person at our great bidding?"
WHAT has and made Macbeth certain that mac duff is not his friend?
Macbeth becomes certain that Macduff is not his friend when he learns that Macduff has fled to join forces with Malcolm in England, suggesting that he is plotting against Macbeth. Additionally, Macduff openly expresses his suspicions about Macbeth's rule and leadership, further solidifying Macbeth's belief that Macduff is a threat rather than an ally.
What decision does Macbeth make when he finds out about Macduff's flight?
Macduff assumed at first that Malcom and Donalbain hired the soldiers to kill their father and they fled to avoid any confrontations. However, it is evident that they fled because they suspected that they were the targets of a conspiracy.
When does Macbeth kill Macduff?
In his dreams. Macbeth does not kill Macduff, it's the other way around. Macduff kills Macbeth at the end of Act V, at the end of the play. It is interesting that, although Macbeth is based (extremely loosely) on a historical character, there was no historical Macduff.

What do the witches mean by from his mothers womb untimely ripped?
The witches mean that Macduff was not born through natural childbirth, but rather was delivered through a surgical procedure (a cesarean section). This detail is meant to suggest that Macduff is not subject to the same fate as other men and may pose a threat to Macbeth.
What growing realization do these statements about the witches seem to reflect?
On the battlefield, Macbeth at last encounters Macduff. They fight, and when Macbeth insists that he is invincible because of the witches' prophecy, Macduff tells Macbeth that he was not of woman born, but rather from his mother's womb / Untimely ripped (5.10.15-16). Macbeth suddenly fears for his life.

What news does ross have for Macduff?
In Act 4 Scene 1, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] met first the three witches and then the noble Scotsman Lennox. Lennox told Macbeth that Macduff had fled Scotland. The news was disappointing to Macbeth, who was planning to kill Macduff. But he quickly adapted to the change in situation. He decided to have Macduff's entire family and household slaughtered.
What was the fulfillment of the witches prophecy beware macduff?
Macduff kills Macbeth. That fulfills the prophecy. Macbeth tries to defeat the prophecy of "Beware Macduff" by killing Macduff's family. He is initially unconcerned with the final prophecy because he views it as impossible, even though everything else the witches have said have come true. His hubris and total lust for power blind him to these "truths." Macbeth's attitude to the prophecies is not as straightforward as the simpleminded suggestion that he is governed by hubris and a lust for power would imply. Indeed I would suggest that he is governed by neither. What he is governed by, after Duncan is killed, is fear. He does not lust for power--he does not want to invade England, for example--but he is afraid of losing the power and authority he has. He is afraid that, since he came by the throne illegitimately, nobody will respect him. He is afraid that Banquo suspects him. Why else does he say "My fears in Banquo stick deep."? He is afraid that Macduff does not respect him as king. Why else does he say, "How sayst thou that Macduff denies his person at our great bidding?" Part of him wants to trust the prophecies, to have that faith that quenches fear. But another part of him is afraid that the prophecies will cheat him, and that he himself must take action to fulfill them or thwart them. So, rather than let "fate crown him", he embarks on the murder to hurry the process along. Rather than accept that Banquo will "get kings", he tries to prevent it by killing him and Fleance. Rather than accept that Macduff is dangerous to him, but nobody of woman born is, he'll "make assurance doubly sure" by killing Macduff. Macbeth is not proud or arrogant. He is frightened and desperate. He clings to the prophecies in hope that they will protect him from the danger he sees all around him. And when he realizes that that hope is a sham, he is ready to give up. Only Macduff's threat to humiliate him (the Greeks would have found Macduff to be very hubristic) blows some life into the fading ember of Macbeth's self-respect. His last speech is of a man left to his last desperate recourse: Though Birnam Wood be come to Dunsinane, And thou opposed being of no woman born, Yet I will try the last. Before my body I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff, And damned be him that first cries, "Hold, enough!"
