What is banquo dying request to fleance?
Upon being attacked by murderers, Banquo exclaims "Fly Fleance, Fly!" meaning "Run Fleance". His motivation for this is up to interpretation. It is obvious that Banquo wants his son to run away and live. However is it simply paternal instinct, or is he realizing that these murderers were sent by Macbeth? The witches told him that he will not be King, but someone of his descent will be a king. If so, he knows that Fleance must survive to keep the bloodline going, so that the throne can eventually be taken from Macbeth. His dying request may very well have been "Fleance, you must survive so that I can be avenged."

Who seems most genuinely troubled by the death of duncan in macbeth?
Lady Macbeth and Macbeth. That sounds strange, but it is probably true. Next to them, Macduff gets very emotional when he discovers the murder, but seems to get over it quite quickly. But thoughts of Duncan haunt Macbeth who says in Act III Scene II "Duncan is in his grave. After life's fitful fever he sleeps well." And Lady Macbeth cannot shake off thoughts of Duncan either; in her sleepwalking scene she says, "But who would have thought the old man to have so much blood in him?"
Why is Macbeth determined to kill macduff?
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.
