How does macduff change?

He starts out trying to avoid Macbeth, hoping that if he is out of sight he will be out of mind.

In other words, Macbeth changes him from a non-supporter to an active enemy.


Why does Macduff not go to Macbeth's crowning?

If you are referring to Shakespeare's classic Macbeth, it's because Macduff hates Macbeth. Remember, Macbeth turns evil because of hunger for power. Macbeth killed Macduff's wife and children because Macduff knew Macbeth killed Duncan. He wanted to kill Macduff, but Macduff was gone. Macbeth killed Macduff's family because he felt they were in his way and stopping him from achieving his goals.


Why does Macbeth tell his wife she should only have male children?

Macbeth tells his wife this because he fears the witches' prophecy that Banquo's descendants will inherit the throne, and having only male children ensures that his lineage will not be overthrown. This reflects Macbeth's ambition and paranoia about holding onto power.
