Butchers kill animals in quantity so that their meat can be eaten by people. They don't feel any empathy for the animals while doing this (their job would drive them crazy otherwise). By likening Macbeth to a butcher, Malcolm says both that he killed a lot of people and that he didn't feel anything about it. This is not completely true, of course, as anyone who has been watching the play knows, but it helps legitimize Malcolm's claim to the throne.
Oh, and why does Malcolm call Macbeth "dead"? Because shortly before he says this Macduff chopped off Macbeth's head and was showing it around.
"This dead butcher and his fiendlike queen" Nice, eh.
Macbeth gets beheaded which stops him from being the king any more. Malcolm takes over as king.
who in Macbeth said 'the sleeping and the dead are but as pictures'
Malcolm and Donalbain first react to the news of their father's murder with confusion, then with a kind of dull amazement that they are not capable of showing grief at this time. Macbeth is going on about how overcome he was with anger on seeing Duncan dead, and Lady Macbeth is keeling over in a faint, and Malcolm and Donalbain say nothing. But their grief is genuine, and that of the Macbeths is not. This feeling is shortly replaced by fear, the fear that they are next on the list. That was probably true enough.
The Prophecy says Macbeth will be king. Duncan is king. Macbeth cannot be king while Duncan is king. Duncan will not be king when he is dead. Therefore, make Duncan dead.
"This dead butcher and his fiendlike queen" Nice, eh.
I don't know who calls Macbeth "a butcher king"--nobody in the play does, unless you are thinking of Malcolm calling him a "dead butcher". But the reason for doing so is obvious enough: Macbeth had a lot of people killed.
Macduff enters the battle holding Macbeth's head, triumphant in victory. He declares to all that Macbeth is dead and that the rightful heir, Malcolm, will now be king.

Macduff discovers King Duncan dead in Macbeth.
No.
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.
Historically, no. Macbeth was succeeded by his stepson Lulach, who only reigned a short time. Shakespeare cut Lulach out as an unnecessary character (although we do hear that Lady Macbeth has "given suck" which must refer to him.) and had Malcolm succeed Macbeth. Historically inaccurate but dramatically more satisfying.
In the play Macbeth the line "The queen, my lord, is dead" is delivered by the character of Seyton, who is Macbeth's personal manservant.
No.
Macbeth is a play made in 1606. It about Macbeth being king by murdering. The play started with Macbeth and Banquo meeting the witches that tell them that Macbeth shall be king. Lady Macbeth knew about that and because of her impatience, she thought about killing the king. Luckily, King Duncan had already said that he is going to Macbeth's castle. So as Lady Macbeth told Macbeth her plan to kill the king. When the mission was completed, Malcolm(king's son) fled to England. Macbeth wanted Banquo dead because he was him when they saw the witches. Banquo was dead but his son Fleance (Banquo's son) managed to escape. Lady Macbeth expected that she could handle the pressure of the murder but she couldn't, so she committed suicide. Now, Macbeth was alone, so he was frightened. He went to the witches for further explanations of what's happening. One of the witches said 'No man born of a woman shall hurt you.' Another witch continued 'But beware, since the trees are moving' Now, Macbeth was satisfied. Macduff (one of Macbeth's men) felt uncomfortable about what's happening so he fled to England to rejoin with Malcolm to make an army to attack Macbeth. Macbeth took his army and when they passed from infront of the forest, Macduff and Malcolm appeared surprisingly with their army. Macbeth said 'Don't waste your time, since no born from a woman can hurt me.' Then Macduff said 'I wasn't born, Iwas taken out by the caesarean section.' Macbeth knew it was the end of his faith so Macduff killed Macbeth and swooshed his head off holding it and said 'This what will happen to you'
