Why did lady Macbeth convince Macbeth to kill macduff's family?

Lady Macbeth does not convince Macbeth to kill Macduffs family. She convinces him to kill the King at the start of the play, but after that she has no input in the decisions he makes. Macbeth chooses to have Macduffs family killed so that he may seize the Macduff castle for his own. The witches also tell him to 'beware Macduff' when he visits them and so he feels threatened by him. Macbeth doesn't actually personally kill Macduffs family either, he hires the same thugs that he hires to assassinate Banquo and Fleance to murder him.

What scene does macduffs family die?

Macduff's family is murdered in Act 4, Scene 3 of Shakespeare's "Macbeth." After Macduff has gone to England to seek help in overthrowing Macbeth, Macbeth orders the brutal assassination of his wife, Lady Macduff, and their children as a means to retaliate against Macduff for his betrayal. The scene is a stark portrayal of the consequences of Macbeth's tyranny and the collateral damage of his quest for power. This act of violence deepens Macduff's resolve to confront Macbeth.


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.


In Macbeth Macduff agrees to revolt Macbeth why?

It's a two-part answer. One, Macbeth is a traitor and killed the King of Scotland. Macduff is loyal to the rightful heir, Malcolm. Macduff assists Malcolm in the retaking of Dunsinane castle and murders Macbeth. But Macbeth also hired assassins to have Macduffs family murdered. Macduff's wife and children were all murdered after he fled to England with Malcolm.

What agreement is reached by Macbeth and Banquo at the end of the scene?

Macbeth has to convince the murderers that Banquo is evil and needs to be killed so he says that the recent famine going on at that time is Banquo's fault.
