Why does Macbeth not want to fight Macbeth?
Macbeth didn't want to fight Macduff, because he didn't want to add any more bloodied casualties to the Fife Castle massacre body count. In Act 4 Scene 2, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] had Macduff's entire family and household massacred at the Macduffs' home of Fife Castle. In Act 5 Scene 8, Macduff finally caught up with Macbeth and challenged him to fight. Macbeth didn't want to fight for two reasons. The reason that he didn't reveal was the witches' warning to beware of Macduff. The reason that he did reveal was the weight on his soul from having ordered the Fife Castle massacre.
Why is Macbeth determined to kill macduff?
Macduff is suspicious and knows Macbeth killed the King. Macduff is also forming an army in England with Malcolm. Because Macduff is in England and Macbeth can't reach him, he figures the only way to hurt and destroy him is to kill his family. He sends murderers to the house and they all die. Macduff is still alive and Macbeth is getting tired of living and just wants to die. When Macduff tells everyone about Macbeth's murder, he doesn't care any more. At the battle field Macduff tells Macbeth that if he just gives up now and doesn't fight he'll humiliate him infront of the whole Scotland. He even will do it if he doesn't give up. That makes Macbeth angry again and he drops his shield (either to show that he still, only a little bit, doesn't want to live or to just challenge Macduff further), the two fight and soon Macduff cuts his head off and puts it on a stick and marches around with it.
Why didn't Macbeth kill macduff?
No, Macbeth killed Macduff's family but not Macduff. Macduff kills Macbeth after telling Macbeth that he wasn't born of a woman; he was born of a C-section or "untimely ripped" from his mother's womb as it says in the play. After Macduff reveals this it appears that Macbeth gives up on fighting because he realizes that it is his destiny to die at the hands of Macduff and then he makes an effort to die an honorable fighting death. Macduff kills and beheads Macbeth off stage, and then he brings Macbeth's head on a pole and presents it to Malcolm the new and rightful king of Scotland.
For what reason does Macbeth mention Macduff's name?

How did Macduff convince Macbeth to fight?
In Act 5 Scene 9, Macduff got Macbeth to fight by calling him the names 'hell-hound' and 'bloodier villain'. At first, Macbeth wasn't worried by the witches' warning to fear Macduff or the movement of Birnam Wood to Dunsinane. Instead, he chose to concentrate on the cautionary advice that seemed incomprehensible and impossible to him: defeat at the hands of a man that hadn't been born of woman. So he figured that he just needed to watch out for any tricks that Macduff might be up to. He didn't realize that he needed to watch out for his life. In essence, Macduff was a man who hadn't been born of a woman. He had been born by a Caesarian delivery from a dead mother. But the realization that the fight that already was in progress was doomed didn't stop Macbeth. As he always had done on all the battlefields of his life, Macbeth fought bravely to the death, be it his or his opponent's. In this case, his luck finally had run out.

Death in an on-stage, off-stage battle is what happens to Macbeth at the end of the play "Macbeth."Specifically, Macduff blames Macbeth for the massacre of his entire household and therefore forces Macbeth into a sword fight.

In Act 5 Scene 8, Macbeth discovers the two are one and the same: Macduff was delivered by Caesarian section from his unnamed mother, who died before giving him birth.
How far is Macbeth responsible for the death of King Duncan and his own downfall in Macbeth?
Macbeth was responsible for the deaths of Macduff's entire family and household. In Act 4 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, he decided to kill Macduff. But before he could carry out his plans, he met up with the noble Scotsman Lennox. From that meeting, he learned that Macduff already had fled Scotland for England.

Who did Macbeth hire assassins for?
Professional hitmen. Although with the murderers he hires to kill Banquo, he goes through the rigmarole of rehearsing their grievances against Banquo, arguably this is a sham to make Macbeth feel less like the kind of scum that hires professional hitmen to kill his friend. By the time he hires murderers to kill Macduff's family, there is no more pretence.
Does Macbeth give up hope of winning?
Yes, he gives up hope of winning but still fights to the death with MacDuff.

Macduff. Being not of woman born means that when Macduff was born, he was brought from the womb in a C-section (born un-timely ripped). In the second prophecy of the witches, Macbeth is told that he should beware Macduff, and that only someone who was not born of woman can harm him. However, he does not know why he should beware Macduff. He feels he is invincible up until in his battle with Macduff, it is revealed that Macduff is not of woman born, meaning he is the only one who can really harm Macbeth.
What is fortunate about mcduff's arrival?
You mean in the last scene of Macbeth? I guess since Macduff was the only one who could defeat Macbeth, it is a good thing that he showed up before Macbeth defeated all the rest of the army who were "born of woman".
