He didn't want to tell her of the horrible murder because she was a woman but ironically the killing was all her idea.

How does Lady Macbeth hear about the prophecy?

Is Macbeth gay?
It isn't that simple. One might argue that the female characters in Macbeth drive the males to horrendous acts, as Lady Macbeth does with Macbeth. In addition, there are many references made to women as being weaker and gentler than men. However, these references are usually used to explore gender roles that society forces its inhabitants to adhere to, and many are used ironically. One example of this is when Macduff tells Lady Macbeth, "O gentle lady,/Tis not for you to hear what I can speak./The rpetition in a woman's ear/Would murder as it fell" (II.iii.96-99). Although Macduff believes the news of Duncan's murder is too violent a fact for a woman to be aware of, Lady Macbeth acted as accomplice to the murder. It can really be argued either way, although I believe the evidence is stronger that it is not a misogynistic play.
What was Macbeth's answer when the witches said to him 'Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth'?
The witches never said "Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth". In Act 4, Scene 1, both the First Apparition and the Second Apparition begin their prophecies by calling out, "Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!" Macbeth responds to the First Apparition by thanking it for warning him against the Thane of Fife (Macduff). Macbeth responds to the Second Apparition with: "Had I three ears, I'd hear thee."

What was the significance of 'O gentle lady Tis not for you to hear what I speak The repetition in a woman's ear would murder as it fell'?
The murdered corpse of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] was discovered the day after the killing in the Macbeths' home of Inverness Castle. Macduff was the one to find the bloodied, lifeless body. He raised the alarm. Lady Macbeth appeared, and sleepily asked what was going on. Macduff responded, 'O gentle lady,/'Tis not for you to hear what I can speak./The repetition, in a woman's ear./Would murther as it fell'. The significance was the deception, duplicity, sneakiness, and treachery that Lady Macbeth showed in her question. Likewise, the significance of Macduff's answer was the lack of awareness of Lady Macbeth's true character, and the extreme efficacy of her hypocrisy.
