That the castle is about to be invaded by hired thugs is the warning that the messenger brings to Lady Macduff in "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616).

Specifically, Macduff runs across the border without telling his family and without giving any of his household a chance to escape. A messenger shows up to do what Macduff should have: give the Macduff household a fighting chance to survive. But Lady Macduff will not listen and therefore refuses to save herself and all other life from the coming massacre.

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."

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.
