It is because he wants more specific information on their predictions that Macbeth goes to see the witches a second time in "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare.

Specifically, Macbeth (d. August 15, 1057) kills King Duncan and the two royal chamberlains. He hires murderers to kill Banquo and his son Fleance. But Fleance escapes.

Macbeth therefore wants to find out what the witches will say about the permanence of his own rule, and what they will say about Banquo's line taking over the throne now that Banquo is dead. He is past the point of no return and wants specific details of the threats to his power and of the identity of his successors.

In short, Macbeth wants to know how many more heinous plans he needs to put into effect (Act 3 Scene 4 Lines 134-138).

Macbeth killed Macduff's wife and children because Macduff knew Macbeth killed Duncan. He wanted to kill Macduff, but Macduff was gone. Macbeth killed Macduff's family because he felt they were in his way and stopping him from achieving his goals.

Macbeth was worried about Lady Macbeth because she had begun sleepwalking. Because of this development, he called for the doctor to check on her.
