Macduff is suspicious and knows Macbeth killed the King. Macduff is also forming an army in England with Malcolm. Because Macduff is in England and Macbeth can't reach him, he figures the only way to hurt and destroy him is to kill his family. He sends murderers to the house and they all die. Macduff is still alive and Macbeth is getting tired of living and just wants to die. When Macduff tells everyone about Macbeth's murder, he doesn't care any more. At the battle field Macduff tells Macbeth that if he just gives up now and doesn't fight he'll humiliate him infront of the whole Scotland. He even will do it if he doesn't give up. That makes Macbeth angry again and he drops his shield (either to show that he still, only a little bit, doesn't want to live or to just challenge Macduff further), the two fight and soon Macduff cuts his head off and puts it on a stick and marches around with it.
