By this point in the play, Macbeth is pretty much insane. While his monologue (life is but a walking shadow) is definitely up to interpretation by the individual/performer, my personal interpretation is that this is when Macbeth realizes that he has done terrible things, he will not get anything out of it, and that he will die. "It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing." My opinion of this is that Macbeth is saying he has done so many terrible things, and that there was no purpose (signifying nothing). So while he starts talking about his wife's death, he only lingers on it momentarily as it is the catalyst for this entire realization.
He responds to the news that she has died with the line "She should have died hereafter. There would have been a time for such a word." Basically, he is saying that he is not now able to deal with this news and wishes that it had come later when he could react to it properly.
At that stage of the play, Macbeth is emotionally crippled by insomnia, paranoia and self-loathing. He is incapable at this time of reacting to the news of her death in the way he would like to. He wishes that he could deal with it at another time, when he would be less numb and unfeeling, when he could focus on what was once a happy and loving relationship, when he could mourn her as he should. "She should have died hereafter; there would have been time for such a word." But there can never more be such a time--not for Macbeth.
At the end of the play Macduff gave Macbeth two choices; surrender and live under the rightful king of Scotland or die. Macbeth chose death.
Macbeth is instantly filled with depression and guilt over what he has done to Banquo and leaves the hall where he is dining with his nobles. Lady Macbeth announces that Macbeth is sick and tells them all to leave but this is only his depression. !
Perhaps in a vague sort of way. It is suggested that they had insight into what would happen so they foresaw that Lady Macbeth would become Macbeth's partner in crime.
No, Macbeth killed Macduff's family but not Macduff. Macduff kills Macbeth after telling Macbeth that he wasn't born of a woman; he was born of a C-section or "untimely ripped" from his mother's womb as it says in the play. After Macduff reveals this it appears that Macbeth gives up on fighting because he realizes that it is his destiny to die at the hands of Macduff and then he makes an effort to die an honorable fighting death. Macduff kills and beheads Macbeth off stage, and then he brings Macbeth's head on a pole and presents it to Malcolm the new and rightful king of Scotland.
We never really see any evident signs of flattery in the play Macbeth.
Malcolm was trying to test Macbeth's loyalty by pretending to list his own supposed vices. He did this to see if Macbeth would react in a way that would show his true nature and intentions.
The speaker may react this way as a defense mechanism to cope with the fear and uncertainty that death brings. By challenging death's strength and pride, the speaker may be trying to assert their own power and resilience in the face of mortality. It can also be a way for the speaker to confront and process their own mortality by symbolically battling with the concept of death.

In Macbeth, the three witches are referring to Macbeth when they say "Something wicked this way comes." They are speaking about Macbeth as he approaches them, indicating his dark and villainous nature.
Kangaroos react the same way any animal would react - with fear and a complete lack of understanding of what is happening to them. They thrash about and hop away, usually to die a slow and painful death.
The best way to handle your wives is by providing for them.
In "Macbeth," after he had slain Duncan, Macbeth went on to commit additional murders to cover his tracks, even without his wife's prompting. Before the death of Duncan, he needed the pushing of Lady Macbeth to kill. Once the deed was done, however, he came across as someone willing to do whatever it took to keep his new status and not be exposed.
Macbeth benefited from the Thane of Cawdor's wrongdoing by being granted the title and lands that were stripped from the traitorous thane. This allowed Macbeth to gain more power and influence in Scotland, ultimately paving the way for his rise to the throne.
The act of King Duncan naming Macbeth as the Prince of Cumberland clears the way for Macbeth to become king in Scotland, as it puts him in line for the throne. This act is seen as a threat by Macbeth, prompting his ambition to seize the crown.
