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 4 Scene 1, the three witches warn Macbeth against Macduff and against death by a man not born through a normal delivery. 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.

Why do you believe the play does or does not have and ending In Macbeth?

Well, it has an ending, for sure. Macbeth is dead, his head chopped off. Lady Macbeth is dead too. A new reign is about to begin. It is the end of the story of Macbeth. But that doesn't mean there is no sequel. Had the play been popular (it wasn't), we might have seen "Macbeth II: Donalbain's Revenge". Shakespeare actually wrote a whole series of plays which were all sequels or prequels to one of his first plays about the reign of Henry VI. But each one of these ends on some kind of closing event, even though the story goes on.

There is no significance since there is no Act 8 Scene 8 in the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616).Specifically, the play ends with Act 5 Scene 8. The significance is the revenge of Malcolm and of Macduff against Macbeth (d. August 15, 1057). Macduff wins a sword fight against Macbeth. He thereby avenges the earlier massacre of his entire household under Macbeth's orders. He shows Macbeth's head to Malcolm (d. November 13, 1093), who claims the throne of Scotland as his after his imminent coronation at Scone. Malcolm thereby avengesthe death of his father, King Duncan (d. August 14, 1040), at Macbeth's hands.
