Macbeth didn't want to fight Macduff, because he didn't want to add any more bloodied casualties to the Fife Castle massacre body count. In Act 4 Scene 2, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] had Macduff's entire family and household massacred at the Macduffs' home of Fife Castle. In Act 5 Scene 8, Macduff finally caught up with Macbeth and challenged him to fight. Macbeth didn't want to fight for two reasons. The reason that he didn't reveal was the witches' warning to beware of Macduff. The reason that he did reveal was the weight on his soul from having ordered the Fife Castle massacre.

∙ 13y agoBecause Macbeth finds out that Macduff was not born naturally, and the prophocy said Macbeth will never be killed by anyone born of women, as Macduff was not born naturally he was not born of women and therefore killed Macbeth.
